Ergenlerde ınsani değerlerin sürekli öfke ve öfke ıfade biçimlerini yordamadaki rolü

Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the role of human values in predicting trait anger and anger expression styles in adolescents. A total number of 302 students (182 girls and 120 boys) participated in the study. In this study, human values were measured with “Moral Maturity Scale”; trait anger and anger expression styles were measured with “State-Trait Anger Expression Scale”. Data analysis were conducted with SPSS 16.0 statistical package program in .01 significance level. All data were analyzed by t-test, correlation and regression. According to the findings of the study, it was seen that human values significantly predicted trait anger and anger expression styles (anger-in, anger-out and anger control). Implications of these findings are discussed and suggestions are presented within the context of literature.
