The purpose of this study is to investigate school alienation in relation to state-trait anger and socio-demographic variables (e.g., gender and socio-economic status). In this research, survey method has been used. The sample consisted of 300 female and 298 male high school students who came from different socio-economic levels. The participants' mean age is 17.6 years. To collect data a “Personal Information Form”, “the State- Trait Anger Scale” and “the Student Alienation Scale” were used. Multivariate analysis of variance was usedto determine gender, socio-economic level and state- trait anger differences on the students' alienation used as dependent variables. When there were significant multivariate effects (Wilks' Lambda criterion) separate analysis of variance (ANOVA) were conducted on each dependent variable to determine the source of the effect. The level of significance was set at p < .01. The results indicate that there is a significant difference between students' school alienation and state-trait anger.
