Özet:

In this study, the aim is to evaluate in detail the psycho-education, group counseling, group guidance, and group intervention-based postgraduate theses on anger management problems in Turkey. With this aim, the effectiveness of experimental interventions carried out to ensure anger control/management was examined. In this context, during the data collection process, 30 theses conducted between 2013 and 2023 were accessed from the Council of Higher Education (YÖK) thesis center in February 2023. The theses were evaluated according to the study group, level, university type, department, experimental design used, type of intervention, intervention approach, effectiveness of the study, duration of intervention sessions, and number of sessions. As a result of the research, it was seen that the theses analyzed mostly worked with adolescent study groups. In addition, it was determined that the cognitive behavioral therapy approach and psycho-educational interventions were mostly preferred in experimental interventions used for anger control/management. As a result, it is recommended to increase the number of experimental interventions using approaches other than the cognitive behavioral therapy approach in future studies on anger control/management, and to develop experimental interventions for study groups other than adolescents, and for examining the effectiveness of these interventions.
