excessive emotional excitability with violent outbursts of rage and anger; may be accompanied by aggression. “Explosive” personalities have reduced control over behavior, they are not able to “restrain” themselves, even if the initial reason for dissatisfaction was insignificant. Explosiveness often manifests itself as a consequence of organic brain lesions (craniocerebral injury, epilepsy, etc.). Also, this variant of emotional response can be intensified under the influence of psychological reasons, primarily as a result of a long stay in a situation of danger (for example, being at war, in prison, serving in law enforcement agencies, practicing martial arts, etc.). In these cases, the usual view of the world in “black and white” colors leads to the fact that in a situation of even a minor threat, a person is inclined to quickly switch to active aggressive and defensive actions, including without taking into account the possible consequences of these actions (since he is guided by the principle “if you are not him, then he is you”).
