dc.description.abstractAnger is a natural human emotion experienced by everyone at one time or another. It is said to be the most talked about but only a few studied emotion in adolescents compared to aggression. Anger involves a combination of cognitive, physiological, behavioral and social components. This research intended to examine the effect of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as an Anger Management Module on anger expressions among adolescents in school settings. The module used in this study has commanded high Cronbach’s alpha value of  = 0.883 from a pilot study carried out in Penang Island. The samples for this study involved 43 adolescents aged 15 to 16 years old from four secondary schools in Penang Island, who had been identified through purposive sampling with high T-score values of 60 and above in their Reactive Anger (RA), Instrumental Anger (IA) or Total Anger (TA) from the Adolescent Anger Rating Scale (AARS) instrument. Both quantitative and qualitative methods were used to gather data. The reduction in the T-score values of Total Anger (TA) from pretest to posttest and follow-up test had shown that the four interventions such as the cognitive restructuring, relaxation through slow deep breathing, assertive communication skills, and problem solving routine in the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Anger Management Module were effective in helping the adolescents to manage their anger.en_US
