This study was designed to determine if Stress Inoculation Training was effective in reducing various forms of anger and stress in high school varsity head basketball coaches. Four head varsity basketball coaches served as subjects. Subjects were selected by means of the Novaco Anger Inventory. Measured characteristics were state-trait anger, anger expression, tension-anxiety, depression-dejection, anger-hostility, aggression, assertion, palmar swear production, and heart rates of coaches while participating in game and practice situations. An A, A1, B, A1, B, within-subject experimental design was used to assess the effects of SIT on anger control. Data were analyzed by a within-subject repeated measures analysis of variance and by observational analysis. The results of this study demonstrated that overall Stress Inoculation Training was effective in reducing anger and related psychological reactions to stress. Additional information indicated that the majority of subjects benefitted both psychologically as well as physiologically to Stress Inoculation training. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 50-11, Section: A, page: 3515. / Major Professor: David Pargman. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1989.
