| Abstract: |
The goal of this study is to research the effects of a 16 weeks anger
management training on volleyball playing teenage girls. It is searched that
whether The Anger Management Programme (TAMP) is effective on girl players
between 16 - 18 ages, prepared according to the principles and methods of the
cognitive behavior approach. The research is an experimental study suitable to
"pre-test-post-test" modelling with a control group which analyzes whether
TAMP reduces the level of anger or not. The pre-test scores of the
experimental and control groups are being compared to "t test" and there is
not any significant difference. Then, the players in the experimental group
were applied a 90 minutes' cognitive behavior approach control programme for
16 weeks. During the implementation of the programme, therapeutics conditions
were provided and some cognitive elements like as faith, thought and
perception were emphasized. Then breathing exercises and relaxation techniques
were practiced and the illogical thinking and beliefs, underlying the anger,
were tried to be changed. After the experiment, the control and experimental
groups were given State Trait Anger Scale once again. In the group, there are
60 teenage girls (Xage=17,20±,80). The State Trait Anger Scale is used to
reach the study's goal which was developed by Spielberger (1983). While
analyzing and interpreting the data, descriptive statistics techniques and
Paired-Sample T-Test are used. In the study, the consistent level of anger of
the experimental group pre-test (23,73±3,30) and post-test (23,53±2,43), the
level of anger control pre-test (19,73±2,07) and post-test (22,10±1,47),
intrinsic anger levels pre-test (28,20±2,16) and post-test (25,57±1,87) and
extrinsic anger levels pre-test (20,70±2,34) and post-test (18,46±1,78). The
difference among the average scorings are significant (P<0,05).In this study;
TAMP is applied which aims to assist the teenage volleyball player girls aged
between 16-18 to control the level of their anger and to become skillful at
using the appropriate stress managing strategies. In the study; when the
experimental groups were compared to the control groups with regards to
consistent anger level, intrinsic anger, extrinsic anger, and controlling
their anger, it was seen that the levels of consistent anger, intrinsic anger
and extrinsic anger of the students in the experimental group were reduced
significantly and the level of anger control were increased significantly
compared to the students in the control group. The research findings of this
study show parallelism with the findings of the some studies in literature. |
