The purpose of the present study is to design and investigate the effect of
Violence Management Training on violent behaviors and anger control of
secondary school students. An experimental design with one training and notreatment
control group and two measurements (pre and post) was used in the
present study. The subjects were selected from 95 ninth and tenth grade secondary
students from a multi-programmed lycee in Ç / amlidere region of Ankara. The
Violent Behaviors Checklist (VBC) and Anger Control Subscale of STAS (State
Trait Anger Scale) were used as the data collection instruments. Violence
Management Training, consists of 16 sessions, was implemented to the training
subjects. The sessions were held twice a week and each session lasted 50 minutes.
On the other hand, no-treatment control group subjects did not receive any
training.
Mixed Design (one between factor and one within factor) multivariate analysis of
variance (MANOVA) was applied to the pretest and posttest VBC scores of
v
subjects to examine the effect of the Violence Management Training on the
violent behaviors of subjects. Additionally, in order to investigate the effect of the
Violence Management Training on anger control of subjects, Mixed Design (one
between factor and one within factor) analysis of variance (ANOVA) was
employed to the pretest and posttest Anger Control Subscale scores of STAS.
The results indicated that Violence Management Training was not an effective
treatment procedure in reducing violent behaviors and increasing anger control of
secondary school students.
