Abstract:

The purpose of the study is to look into the relationship between the anger levels and psychological hardiness levels of the students studying at Sports High School. The model of the study is descriptive, one of the quantitative research methods. The research group consists of 211 adolescent high school students studying at the Sports High School in Istanbul. The Adolescent Anger Rating Scale developed by McKinnie-Burney (2001) and "Psychological Resilience Scale" developed by Bulut et al. (2012) were used. Skewness-Kurtosis normality distribution test was used. In the analysis of the data, Pearson Moment Correlation Analysis was performed to determine the relationship among descriptive statistics, MANOVA analyzes, the adolescent anger scale and psychological resilience sub-dimension scores. As a result, it was concluded that adolescents' reactive anger levels from the sub-dimensions and the general anger levels were low and their anger control levels were mid-level. In terms of psychological hardiness levels of adolescents, it was concluded that family support, peer support, adaptation support and empathy levels were low, while the levels of struggle willingness and school support were mid-level. According to the results of multivariate analysis, no statistically significant interaction was found between independent variables (p>.05). According to the results of the correlation analysis, it was concluded that there was a statistically significant positive relationship at the level of p>.05 between the scores obtained from the family support dimension, which is one of the sub-dimensions of the psychological hardiness scale, and the scores of the adolescent anger scale test. According to the results of the correlation analysis, it was concluded that there was a statistically significant positive relationship at the level of p>.05 between the scores obtained from the family support dimension, one of the sub-dimensions of the psychological hardiness scale, and the scores of the adolescent anger scale test.
