These biases can be contradictory to our conscious beliefs and values, and they may affect how we perceive and treat others.

Making a list of possible solutions is a step in anger control because it helps to expand one's perspective and options for resolution, rather than reacting impulsively and exacerbating the situation. Trusting intuition, defining the problem too broadly, and only focusing on the other person's body language may not necessarily promote effective anger management.
