Forty-six incarcerated male adolescent offenders participated in an aggression management training program, an intervention integrating social problem-solving skills-training and anger-control training. Continuous behavioral data, the Interpersonal Problem Solving Measure, and the State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory were used to evaluate the training program. / Students showed significant improvement on some of their problem-solving skills (i.e., problem definition and goal selection) and on self-reported anger-control, but these improvements did not translate into decreased aggressive behavior. The results of the study, as well as general prevention and treatment strategies, are discussed. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 55-09, Section: A, page: 3001. / Major Professor: Wallace A.
