Bu
araştırmanın amacı ergenlerin okulda öfkelerini olumlu ifade biçimi ile akran
baskısı, arkadaş bağlılığı, algılanan sosyal destek ve cinsiyetleri arasındaki
ilişkileri ortaya koymaktır. Bu amaçla, 544 lise öğrencisinden veri toplamıştır
( 326 kız, 218 erkek). Bu ergenlerin yaşlarının ortalaması 16.10 (sd: .90)
olarak elde edilmiştir. Araştırmada veri toplama araçları olarak, Çok Boyutlu Okul Öfke Envanteri, Arkadaş Bağlılık Ölçeği, Akran Baskısı Ölçeği ve Demografik Bilgi
Formu kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucundaki bulgulara göre, okulda öfkeyi ifade etme biçimi puanları ile
akran baskısı puanları ve arkadaş bağlılığı puanları arasında pozitif yönde
anlamlı ilişkiler elde edilmişken, akran baskısı puanları ile arkadaş bağlılığı
puanları arasında negatif yönde anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmaktadır. Diğer
taraftan, akran baskısı, algılanan sosyal destek, arkadaş bağlılığı ve
cinsiyetin okulda öfkeyi olumlu biçimde ifade etme puanlarını anlamlı bir
biçimde yordadığı görülmüştür. Ayrıca, erkek ergenlerin okulda öfkelerini kız
öğrencilere göre daha olumlu ifade ettikleri görülmüştür. Son olarak da
algılanan sosyal desteğin ergenlerin öfkelerini olumlu ifade etmelerinde önemli
bir faktör olduğu bulgusuna ulaşılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular literatür
