AN ANALYSIS OF ANGER STATUS OF TEENAGERS DOING SPORTIVE ACTIVITIES AND TEENAGERS NOT-DOING SPORTIVE ACTIVITIES

Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyze the differences of constant anger and anger expression between teenagers who are doing regular sportive activities and teenagers who are not doing regular sportive activities. The sample group consists of 226 volunteers who are university students; 109 students do regular sportive activities and 117 of them do not do any regular sportive activities. In this study, Ozer’s (1994) Turkish version of Spielberger’s (1983) “The State-Trait Anger Scale(STAS)" was used. At the end of this study, a statistically significant difference (p<0.05) was found between students’ constant anger and their anger management aspects in favor of students who do regular sportive activities. As a conclusion, sportive activities are effective in anger management and in decreasing constant anger, which is a regular situation seen in adolescence. According to the findings of this study, it can be inferred that motivating teenagers to do regular sportive activities may help them to manage their anger
