Anger Management of Students for a Peaceful School Environment: The Group Studies

Resumo

The aim of this study is to provide guidance to students in gaining skills to control their aggressive behaviours through an anger management group study. In this study, a pretest- posttest control group design has been used. Data gathered from 288 students have been analysed through SPSS-20 statistical program. The Empathic Tendency scale, Aggressiveness scale, and Anger Rating scale with three subscales as overt-anger, covert-anger, and anger control have been applied to both control and experimental group members as pretests and posttests. The experimental group members have learned to control their anger feelings/behaviours at the end of the group activities. When students learn to display their anger feelings appropriately probably school settings will be more peaceful places than that present.
