Abstract:

In this study, it is aimed to examine the relationship between the anger levels of adolescents attending secondary education towards school and their perception of parental attitudes. The study group included 613 randomly selected adolescents attending secondary education. Multidimensional School Anger Scale and Perceived Parental Attitudes Scale were used to collect the data. Percentage and frequency distributions were used to analyze the data. Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis H tests were used to examine the relationships between variables. As a result, it was determined that, female adolescents have more hostile attitudes and beliefs towards school than male adolescents and these hostile attitudes and beliefs towards school increased in parallel to the increase in their grades at school. It was found that the adolescents who perceived their parents as democratic and permissive/tolerant parents express their anger in a more socially acceptable way than the adolescents who perceived their parents as permissive/neglectful and authoritarian.
