To the [[individual]] 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]] uncontrolled [[problem]] that instigates more severe, and perhaps pathological, frustration. An individual [[suffering]] from pathological frustration will often feel powerless to [[change]] the situation they are in, leading to frustration and, if left uncontrolled, further [[anger]].

Frustration can be a result of blocking [[motivated]] [[behavior]]. An [[individual]] 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 [[motivatio]]nal [[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 [[individual]] may resort to less adaptive methods of trying to reach the goal. He/She may, for example, [[attack]] the barrier [[physically]], verbally or both.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frustration]
