I. Introduction
A.) Religion offers many answers to how one should live his or
her life. To what extent does religion foster anger management?

active one is religious activities and the ability to control anger
in situations invoking frustration.
B.) The purpose is not to convert non-religious members of
society or to prove God or higher being a reality.
III. Rationale of Study
A.) If connection is shown between frequency and restraint of
anger fits the results could act further implications for religious
resources and those who attend.

2. B.) The connection may also foster those who are atheists to
acquire or adapt of faith structure of sorts.
IV. Hypothesis
A.) Those who are more active in religious events or religious
studies will use beneficial techniques to diffuse anger more
often verses those who are less active in religious based events.
V. Research Questions
A.) How often do attend religious activities or events?
B.) Is your region or faith based system a part of your daily
life?
C.) Is your religion or faith slightly, moderately, or strongly a
priority in your daily life?
D.) How often do you get angry or frustrated in your daily
activities?
E.) How do you diffuse your anger?

VI. Participants
A.) Participants would range from ages 18- 60.
B.) Participants would be separate into groups of three; Slightly
involved with religious or faith activities, Moderately involved,
or Strongly involved.
VII. Procedures
A.) A mix of Pretest-Posttest and Sequential experimental
designs would be used.
B.) The different ages are important so each frequency group
would have a mixture of ages as well.
C.) The three groups would partake at separate times in a
baseball game against the control group that are to antagonize
the experimental groups.
D.) Video and audio equipment will be set up to monitor the
interaction between the control and experimental groups.
E.) After the videos will studied for indications of anger or
frustration management.
VIII. Materials
A.) Informed consent t release researcher of liability of
potential physical and emotional harm.

3. B.) Pretest survey inquiring of the questions listed above.
C.) Posttest taken three days after experiment.
D.) Video and files interpreted using a previously decided
emotional and physical coding system.
IX. Instruments
A.) Use of a control group previously instructed to antagonize,
irritate, or perform behaviors of rudeness. Instructions will also
be clear as to what is considered to unethical bounds of
behavior.
B.) A second researcher will be brought in to help code
behaviors using the pervious decided coding system.
X. Statistical Tests
A.) A comparison group means scale will be used to compare
the three groups over frustration or anger and techniques used
to diffuse the anger.
