Related to <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Anger\">anger<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Disappointment\">disappointment<\/a>, it arises from the perceived resistance to the fulfillment of <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>individual<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Will_(philosophy)\">will<\/a>. The greater the obstruction, and the greater the will, the more the frustration is likely to be. Causes of frustration may be internal or external. In people, internal frustration may arise from challenges in fulfilling <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Personal\">personal<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Objective_(goal)\">goals<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Desires\">desires<\/a>, instinctual drives and needs, or dealing with perceived <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Deficiencies\">deficiencies<\/a>, such as a lack of <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Confidence\">confidence<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fear\">fear<\/a> of social situations. <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Emotional_conflict\">Conflict<\/a> can also be an internal source of frustration; when <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>one<\/strong> has competing goals that interfere with <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>one<\/strong> another, it can create <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cognitive_dissonance\">cognitive dissonance<\/a>. External causes of frustration involve conditions outside an individual, such as a blocked road or a difficult task. While coping with frustration, some individuals may engage in <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Passive%E2%80%93aggressive_behavior\">passive\u2013aggressive behavior<\/a>, making it difficult to identify the original cause(s) of their frustration, as the responses are indirect. A more direct, and common response, is a propensity towards aggression.<sup><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Frustration#cite_note-0\">[1]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n<h4>Contents<\/h4>\n<p>[<a ##M28##>hide<\/a>]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Frustration#Causes\">1 Causes<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Frustration#Symptoms\">2 Symptoms<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Frustration#Examples\">3 Examples<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Frustration#References\">4 References<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>[<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Frustration&amp;action=edit&amp;section=1\">edit<\/a>]Causes<\/h4>\n<p>To the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>individual<\/strong> experiencing frustration, the emotion is usually attributed to external factors that are beyond his or her control. Although mild frustration due to internal factors (e.g. laziness, lack of effort) is often a positive force (inspiring motivation), it is more often than not a perceived <em>uncontrolled<\/em> <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>problem<\/strong> that instigates more severe, and perhaps pathological, frustration. An <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>individual<\/strong> suffering from pathological frustration will often <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>feel<\/strong> powerless to change the situation they are in, leading to frustration and, if left uncontrolled, further anger.<\/p>\n<p>Frustration can be a result of blocking motivated behavior. An <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>individual<\/strong> may react in several different ways. He\/She may respond with rational problem-solving methods to overcome the barrier. Failing in this, he\/she may become frustrated and behave irrationally. An example of blockage of motivational energy would be the case of a worker who wants time off to go fishing but is denied permission by his\/her supervisor. Another example would be the executive who wants a promotion but finds he\/she lacks certain qualifications. If, in these cases, an appeal to reason does not succeed in reducing the barrier or in developing some reasonable alternative approach, the frustrated <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>individual<\/strong> may resort to less adaptive methods of trying to reach the goal. He\/She may, for example, attack the barrier <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Physical_abuse\">physically<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Verbal_abuse\">verbally<\/a> or both.<\/p>\n<h4>[<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Frustration&amp;action=edit&amp;section=2\">edit<\/a>]Symptoms<\/h4>\n<p>Frustration can be considered a problem\u2013<strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>response<\/strong> behavior, and can have a number of effects, depending on the mental health of the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>individual<\/strong>. In positive cases, this frustration will build until a level that is too great for the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>individual<\/strong> to contend with, and thus produce action directed at solving the inherent <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>problem<\/strong>. In negative cases, however, the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>individual<\/strong> may perceive the source of frustration to be outside of their control, and thus the frustration will continue to build, leading eventually to further problematic behavior (e.g. violent reaction).<\/p>\n<p>Stubborn refusal to respond to new conditions affecting the goal, such as removal or modification of the barrier, sometimes occurs. As pointed out by <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=J.A.C._Brown&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1\">J.A.C. Brown<\/a>, severe punishment may cause individuals to continue nonadaptive behavior blindly: &#8220;Either it may have an effect opposite to that of reward and as such, discourage the repetition of the act, or, by functioning as a frustrating agent, it may lead to fixation and the other symptoms of frustration as well. It follows that punishment is a dangerous tool, since it often has effects which are entirely the opposite of those desired&#8221;.<sup><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Frustration#cite_note-multiple-1\">[2]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n<h4>[<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Frustration&amp;action=edit&amp;section=3\">edit<\/a>]Examples<\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/en\/f\/f4\/Ambox_content.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"40\" height=\"40\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This section <strong>may contain <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wikipedia:No_original_research\">original research<\/a><\/strong>.

If he is sufficiently aroused, he may strike out at him with his fists or with a weapon. If the supervisor is not present or the worker&#8217;s fear of the consequences of direct attack is stronger than his desire to attack, he may transfer his aggression to someone or something else. Taking his frustration out on his family or on some object like his car or his equipment are typical ways of transferring <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Aggression\">aggression<\/a>. Another &#8220;solution&#8221; to frustration is regressive behavior\u2014becoming childish or reverting to earlier and more primitive ways of coping with the goal barrier. Throwing a temper tantrum, bursting into tears, or sulking are examples of regression.
