Anger, also known as wrath or rage, is an intense emotional state involving a strong uncomfortable, and non-cooperative response to a perceived provocation, hurt, or threat. A person experiencing anger will often experience physical effects, such as increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure, and increased levels of adrenaline and noradrenaline. Therefore, the researcher conducted a study to evaluate the degree of anger and the coping mechanisms adopted by reproductive age group women of selected urban and rural community. A descriptive cross- sectional research design was used to assess the factors affecting anger and coping strategies adopted by reproductive age group women in a selected urban and rural community. The data was collected from 100 reproductive age group women of selected urban (50) and rural (50) community selected by non-probability purposive sample technique, by using of Likert scale. The results show that the mean, standard deviation, and mean percentage of factors affecting anger and coping strategies are higher in the urban community than in the rural community. It can be concluded that factors affecting anger and coping strategies are more prevalent in reproductive age group women in urban community than in rural community.
