Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best advice would be for Tim to try to relax and restrain urges to be aggressive. This is because acting out aggressively can lead to further negative consequences and it is important to learn healthy coping mechanisms for dealing with disappointment and frustration. Watching a violent movie or playing a violent game can actually increase aggressive feelings, and physical violence or aggression towards others is never an acceptable solution. Going to the gym and hitting a punching bag may help to release some physical tension, but it still promotes aggression rather than healthy coping mechanisms.
