Rage to Revenge: The Science of Violence

From road rage to homicidal rampage, what goes on in the human body when a person becomes angry? In this program, noted experts Brad Bushman, Paul Ekman, and Stafford Lightman assert that the cause of human aggression lies in the physiology of violent emotions. Case histories to demonstrate the self-damaging impact of hate and the positive power of forgiveness support their conviction that a quantifiable mind/body connection exists. In addition, evidence is provided which indicates that venting—long believed to relieve anger—can actually reinforce aggressive behavior. A Discovery Channel Production. (53 minutes)
