Abstract

The aim of the current study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a cognitive-behavioral anger management program for mothers. The design of this study was quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest without control group. 22 mothers who were volunteers participated in this research and anger management program was implemented for seven sessions, each session two hours per week. Data were collected utilizing State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory and Anger Evaluation Scale to assess parents' anger toward their children. Findings of this research indicate the effectiveness of anger management training based on cognitive-behavioural approach on reducing anger in mothers. Finally, implications of the findings, research limitations and suggestions for future research are discussed.
