Modes of Expression of Anger in Adolescents

Modes of Expression of Anger in AdolescentsIntroductionAggression is a way that harms the security of the sufferers and causes pain or injury to others. (Townsend, 2006) Anger freighter be expressed in different ways such aswords, fists, weapons etc. which whitethorn result in bitter outcomes. Aggression is common in both of the genders regardless of their age. Adolescents ar the vulnerable population in terms of aggression which can cause negative outcomes in their late life and results in poor adjustments and academic difficulties.Risk Behavior and Target PopulationProblems of vulturine behaviors in adolescents are growing seriously day by day (Olweus, 2001). The behaviors involve aggression against colleagues, teachers and friends(Astor, Pitner, Benbenishty, Meyer, 2002). Aggression is a risk wellness behavior in adolescents which can allow to depression and suicidal attempts(Herrero, Estevez, Musitu, 2006).Adolescents who set aside their crossness are at high risk to be d epressed and ingest the feeling of hopelessness. Moreover, suicidal attempts are much serious in such adolescents. In contrast, adolescents who express their evoke are at high risk to have family related problems (Olweus, 2005). The association amongst aggressive behaviors in adolescents and sociable wellness problems are related to family issues and schooling adjustment issues (MusituGarca, 2004). Moreover, the aggressive adolescents show lower level of empathy (Olweus, 2005). Aggressive adolescents strive for social cite (Rodrguez, 2004).Desire of becoming powerful in adolescents leads to disruptive behavior (Buelga, Ravenna, Musitu, Lila, 2006). Therefore it is very of the essence(predicate) to assess the mode of evoke flavor in adolescents to identify their health risk behaviors. The target population is adolescents aged between 10 to 19 years. (Add who definition of adolescents)RationalesA questionnaire has been developed in order to assess the level and expression of aggressionamong adolescents. This questionnaire will also help to identify the sex, age differences and ethnic background of these adolescents.Furthermore, it will give an understanding of the risk factors for developing aggressive behaviors which is one of the important steps in developing the strategies for prevention of aggression. Gender, age educational status and ethnic background are important aspects in order to know the pic of adolescents for aggression.(Goldberg, Sweeney, Merenda Hughes, 1997)Therefore, it is important to study these demographic variables because each individual is different from another individual. Aggression causes continues depressive symptoms such as loneliness, self-esteem and externalizing behavior in victimized adolescents. (Prinstein, Boergers, Vernberg, 2001). Adolescents with experience of aggression burst out their anger either verbally or somaticly. If anger is not managed properly, it results in poor social skills with cognitive distortions (Nelson Finch, 2000).Furthermore it also leads to physical problems such as migraine, headaches, ulcers in adolescents (Townsend, 2006).Purpose, Variables and HypothesisThe aim of this research is to identify the modes of expression of anger in adolescents in relation to physical, psychological and social health risks. The independent variable is anger whereas physical, psychological and social health problems are dependent variableThe hypotheses to be foot raceed in the study are as followsThere is an association between suppression of anger and physical and psychological health problemsThere is an association between improper expression of anger and social health problems (interference with relationships)The hypothesis will be tested by using chi square test of independence because the level of measurement is qualitative flat in nature. Chi square procedure is employed to test hypothesis because it best suites with form of data and study question. It is used to disclose the ass ociation between the two qualitative variables which do not show any causal relationship. Thus the chi-square statistic is used to test the hypothesis of association between two groups. The assumptions for chi-square test are taken into consideration when the data are qualitative categorical, the observed soma in each category can be compared to an expected number and all the expected counts are greater than or equal to five.

One of the difficulties identified was problem in remembering the mark for the questions on the second page as the key was written only on the first page and it was difficult to go back and forth to see the key. In order to resolve this problem, we will add the keys on the every page of the questionnaire.The QuestionnaireInstructionsPlease read all the questions carefully, there is no remediate or wrong question.
