karate trainers and their cognitive flexibility levels. The research was carried out using the relational screening
model. The universe of the research consists of karate trainers affiliated to the Turkish Karate Federation, and the
sample consists of 83 karate trainers, 18 women and 65 men, selected by scale sampling method, one of the
purposeful sampling methods from this universe. Personal information form, Cognitive Flexibility Scale
developed by Bilgin (2009), and Trait Anger Expression Styles scale adapted to Turkish by Özer (1994) were
used as data collection tools. Descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation analyzes were applied to the data. As
a result of the research, a positive and significant relationship was found between age and years of coaching and
trait anger style. On the other hand, a significant negative correlation was found between age and years of
coaching and cognitive flexibility. Finally, a negative significant relationship was found between anger styles
