This research uses theories of Fomin et al (2011) to identify and classify the types of anger emotion uttered by the characters in the movie Inside Out; Wolfe (2005) to analyze and describe the reasons of using the utterances of anger emotion in the movie Inside Out. To ensure the data collection process used descriptive method. The results showed that the anger emotions can occur in all aspects of the character's life. The film presents five primary emotions—Joy, Sadness, Fear, Disgust, and Anger—embodied as characters within the mind of an eleven-year-old girl named Riley.There are 5 0f 7 types of anger emotions in the movie Inside Out, namely teasing, confrontation, sarcastic, name-calling and yelling, while the reasons for using the utterances of anger emotion in the movie Inside Out are family factors and mostly due to external factors, namely the surrounding environment and the environment of friends. The research also discusses the portrayal of Anger as it relates to psychological theories of emotional regulation, especially within developmental psychology. By giving physical form to Anger, Inside Out enables a child-friendly understanding of this complex emotion, which can be both protective and harmful depending on context and intensity. Through Anger’s outbursts, the film emphasizes the importance of self-awareness, teaching viewers that while anger is a natural emotion, it must be managed effectively. The Author hopes the readers will conduct similar research with psycholinguistic analysis, namely on the expression of angry emotions from other perspectives besides the types and reasons for expressing anger emotions.
