>>I wonder if the root cause for all of this is poor instruction on stress management and anger management.

Do citizens of countries with low stress and anger levels receive such instructions?

Because if not, lack of such instructions is unlikely to be the "root cause" of the observed phenomenon.

Instruction on stress management and anger management is driven by parenting and school environments, not by state-mandated education and mandatory stress management workshops.

If you see your parents constantly on the verge of bankruptcy and lay-offs, struggling to pay off medical bills and resorting to shouting as a stress relief mechanism, then odds are, you'll grow up thinking this is the norm.
