Stress and Anger Connection. A number of studies have indicated that there is a clear relationship that exists between stress and anger.

For example, if you are on the way to work, and you are already running late, a stressor could be someone cutting you off on the highway. In addition to being negative and positive, stressors can also be either external or internal.
