Question

An article discussed how anger intensity in children's tantrums could be related to tantrum duration as well as behavioral indicators such as shouting, stamping, and pushing or pulling. The following frequency distribution was given:0-<2: 136 2- <4: 92 4-<11: 7211-<20 26 20-<30 7 30-<40: 3Required:Draw the histogram and then comment on any interesting features.

Answer 1

Answer:

Increase in age is indirectly proportional to anger intensity in children's tantrums

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's begin by reproducing the given information into a frequency distribution table (shown below):

Age Group   Frequency

   0 - <2              136

   2 - <4              92

   4 - <11              72

   11 - <20           26

   20 - <30          7

   30 - <40          3

Observing the dataset above, we will see a trend; increase in age is inversely proportional to anger intensity. Kindly note that the histogram is attached as a picture.

Analysis of Histogram

Age group 1 (infants) have the highest indices of anger intensity in tantrums. This is expected because they do not know much yet and have an entitlement mentality.

Age group 2 (infants) also have a pretty high amount of anger intensity in children tantrums. They have transitioned from infancy but are yet immature & can easily flare up when disgruntled.

Age group 3 (children) are not far off from the previous age bracket, also having a significantly fairly high anger intensity. They are advancing in years & as they do, their emotional rage to tantrums is reducing.

Age group 4 (pre-teens/teens) experience a significant and drastic drop in emotional rage due to children's tantrums. They are maturing and are learning to communicate in less fitful ways. They now know better than to express their displeasure like infants.

Age group 5 (youths) also see a drastic drop in such anger intensity. The reason is not far-fetched; they are more mature and can express their displeasure in more mature ways.

Age group 6 (Adults) almost have almost a zero or non-existent such attitude among them. At this point, they have come to understand & know that they can get much more done with words than such outlandish methods.

In conclusion, as a child advances in years (changing from one age group to another → from infant to adult), their anger intensity takes a nosedive. We rightly interpret the histogram when we say that physical maturity is inversely proportional to anger intensity in children's tantrums.
