Children as a vulnerable age group are subject to a variety of psychological and behavioral problems requiring psychological intervention. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of anger management training on the educational problems among 10-12-year-old students.
The present study was of quasi-experimental design with pre-test/post-test and a control group. The statistical population of the study included 10-12 year-old elementary school students in the city of Gonbad-e-Kavus in the academic year 2017-2018. A multi-stage randomized sampling method was used in which 60 students were randomly assigned into two groups of 30, experimental and control group. The experimental group participated in eight anger management sessions, while the control group did not receive any training at that time. Behavioral questionnaire (teacher form) was used for data collection. The results of this study were analyzed using one-way ANOVA via SPSS software version 20.
The mean (SD) age in the experimental group was 10.1 (1.4) for male students and 10.7 (1.2) female students. The mean (SD) age in the control group was 10.7 (1.6) for male students and 10.2 (1.5) for female students. The mean (SD) score of behavioral problems in the experimental group was 10.1 (12.8) in the pre-test, which decreased to 5.6 (6.1) in the post-test (P <0.01); however, the mean (SD) score of behavioral problems in the control group was 10.7 (13.1) in pre-test and varied to 10.6 (12.9) in the post-test, which was not statistically significant (P>0.05).
The study showed that anger management training led to reduction of students' behavioral problems
