Hot temper
A sudden anger (from “abrupt” ~ “suddenly”, from Middle High German gāch , “hurried, suddenly, hastily”) is an anger against a certain person or thing that breaks out for the smallest of reasons or suddenly . It is seen as affect .
In a broader sense, quick anger is the psychological disposition to be prone to such fits of anger . Such a person is called irascible . In 1788, Adolph Freiherr Knigge devoted a separate chapter to “Dealing with the irate” in his book On Dealing with People .
Small children can sometimes have spontaneous fits of anger, especially during the so-called defiant phase . Anger is also a characteristic of attention deficit disorder .
Pathological irascibility is described in clinical psychology as intermittent explosive disorder (IED) and as a disorder of impulse control ( DSM-IV 16, ICD-10 F63).
Anger can lead to anger , but anger usually does not lead to anger.
