The Shift from "Ordinary" to "Extraordinary" Experience in Psychodynamic Supe...James Tobin, Ph.D.
In this paper, presented to Division 39 (Psychoanalysis) at the 2012 APA Conference in Orlando, Florida, Dr. Tobin argues that the trainee and novice clinician may create a therapeutic setting in which the therapist manifests an attitude and demeanor drawn largely from standards forms of interpersonal interaction and the mores constituting typical social discourse. Clinical supervision may also reflect an investment in restricted forms of experience, thus leading to “sterile supervision” characterized by defensive processes and false manifestations. Dr. Tobin argues that the clinical situation is an "extraordinary" social experience that sacrifices most forms of standard social discourse in order to create an open space in which therapist and patient are unhindered by that which normally is. Supervision, therefore, should be focused on developing in the supervisee a therapeutic persona mobilized by the trainee's experience of new freedoms encountered in supervision.

Multiple Roles at Conflict: Reflections from Life Career Families in Western ...inventionjournals
Role conflict of employed women in life career families has become an inevitable subject for discussion in the context of recent globalization. Women’s liberation movements in the last centuries expanded the opportunities for qualified women in India to enter in to the workforce for personal satisfaction and supplemental income in family. In this changed social milieu women who once occupied only familial roles are now entering into the labor force taking up different professional roles. Thus playing several roles simultaneously with inadequate time and energy often creates conflicts in the role performance of these working women. Data were collected by interview, observation and focus-group discussion methods from 40 women working in different government and non-government sectors in Sambalpur city of Western Odisha. Against this backdrop, the present study makes an humble attempt to explore how the multiplicities of familial and professional roles are creating conflicts among these working women in the life career families. The study discusses how these women are trying to balance their domestic and professional roles.
Burnout among Health Workers: Case of the Military Hospital of Ouakam, Senegalinventionjournals
Background: Mental Health is responsible for 13% of global morbidity, and is a priority according to World Health Organization which predicts a duplication of this frequency by 2020. The cult of performance and the quest for maximum profit have led to the emergence of new types of diseases in societies such as professional exhaustion or burnout. The analysis of factors promoting burnout showed that this syndrome is primarily related to chronic stress. Studies in several countries, mostly Western, have showed its importance. This study has aimed to assess burnout in the military hospitalof Ouakam. Method: It was a qualitative study conducted among Ouakam Military Hospital workers in 2012. The sampling was complete and the target was made by all hospital workers: technical, administrative and support staff. Participation was free and voluntary. The collection tool consisted of Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) on socio-demographic characteristics and criteria of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and personal achievement. As suggested by Maslach, burnout was first determined for each criterion; then their combination enabled to determine the overall burnout. Results: A total of 66 individuals participated in the study. The average age was 34.5 years, sex ratio1.64; Married 57.6% and singles 42.4%. About 94% had a level of education equal to or higher than secondary school. Paramedics were 78.8%, support staff 13.6%. Emotional exhaustion was observed in 30.3% of participants, depersonalization of the relationship in 21.2% and disorders of personal accomplishment at 36.3%. The combination of these three parameters has enabled to determine the overall burnout that was 68.2%, the mild form was 46.9% and the moderate form 21.2%; no severe form was observed. Burnout was more common among elderly and paramedics. These results are similar to those observed in other countries that have shown high prevalence of burnout among health workers. Conclusion: Burnout is a reality and, in long-term, can negatively impact health system’s performance.

Storying the Self in Nigerian Gender Discourse: A Critical Evaluation of Chim...inventionjournals
:This article offers a critical review of the Nigerian female writer ChimamandaNgoziAdichie’s autobiographical essay We Should All Be Feminists (2014). Beyond the binarism of self and other and male and female inherent to any work on gender, we study the concept of Happy Feminism and its related issues introduced by Adichie in Nigerian gender discourse. By contrast with classic feminism, happy feminism is defined as a kind of feminism adapted to the African cultural context which empowers African women, improves their self-esteem and excludes any form of sexism, misogyny, misandry or emasculation. Based on a Personality Psychological approach to personal narratives and using a narratological and socio-literary framework, this article explores and puts into question the relevance of the term Happy Feminism by confronting it to current studies on Nigerian gender discourse. While not neglecting Adichie’s contribution to the elaboration of Nigerian gender discourse, the article highlights the fact that the concept of Happy Feminism is problematically undertheorised.

As for the solution for reducing the negative influence of these programs is to strengthen parents’ and teachers’ alert, accompany the children to watch the program, build up sense of empathy, integrate the concept of safety into the program. Most important of all, parents have to help their children to develop their own judgment to judge what’s right or wrong of these cartoon figures’ behaviors

Some arguments are briefly presented about the negative consequences of the deep global economic and financial crisis of 2008 on the economic activity and the social situation in Spain. Reformulation, sustainability and financial viability of social welfare in Spain require a new management through resource efficiency, increasing market presence and initiative of stakeholders as a whole. In this sense, the main credible argument of the welfare social in Spain depends on a new perspective on socialization and generosity of social protection system. Specifically, the solution to the crisis must come through economic growth, increased productivity, employment and competitiveness and not by the way of increasing levels of social protection.

What did you learn about yourself and your abilities to be a t.docxlillie234567
What did you learn about yourself and your abilities to be a teacher of
young children, and how you worked as part of a teaching team?
As I take this class, I see my teacher skills build every day when I come to the
lab. I see patience in all the teachers and also in me. When I have to convince
the children to make good choices, solve problems, and deal with challenging
behaviors. As a teacher, I’m a role model and a friend to the children. When I set
up an activity, I think about how I can challenge the children to do things that I
think they will learn from that activity. For example, I want the children to do math
patterns, balance with one leg, or walk on the beam without helping hands. The
children need to practice and build on their knowledge, and they learn the skills
through all the activities that they are engaged in in the class.
As a teaching team member, communication is the most important thing.
Teachers need to keep track of the ratio throughout the day. They must
communicate with other teachers in the room when they take the children to the
restroom. Announcing the change in the routine to ensure the children know what
will happen differently that day and let coworkers expect what to do. Never let
down your guard when you are with the children.
What did you learn most about planning emergent curriculum for young
children?
I learned that an emergent curriculum is a program that plans lessons based on
the children's interests. Planning needs a lot of experience, and teachers must
decide what is important for the children to learn. The activity setup layout needs
to be welcoming, and the color and materials must be related. The material and
objects need to stand out to catch the children’s eyes. I need to support diversity,
math, or literacy in the activity. The teacher creates intentional teaching material
that encourages the children to build on what they already know.
What did you find challenging and rewarding about your lead days?
The lead day sounded scary to me in the middle of the semester. Lead day
practice takes place over two days, and these two days are helpful for me in
learning the routine and keeping track of time. It is important to be flexible about
what is happening in the environment and make sure to make the transition at
the right time. When I ask other teachers to do something, I find myself being
weird, especially if they are the teachers and already know what needs to be
done. The lead days taught me how important communication is with team
members.

Depression and Somatization Disorders
Hello Class,
Group 1 is assigned Depression and Somatization Disorders to further discuss. Failure to adjust and modify emotions cognitively while experiencing stress can ultimately present an outcome of exaggerated physiological and behavioral responses and amplify susceptibility to somatic disorders, such as somatization (Davoodi, et al., 2019). Somatization Disorder is the presentation of recurrent and multiple somatic complaints of several years duration for which medical attention has been sought but which do not derive from a specific physical disorder (Swartz, Blazer, & George, 2012).
Please respond to the following questions:
1. When caring for a patient with somatization disorder, what therapeutic interventions would you formulate (Allen, Woolfolk, Escobar, Gara, and Hamer, 2006)?
2. How would you evaluate the success of your interventions for a patient living with somatization?
Depression is an extremely serious mood disorder that effects how you think, feel, and act. Symptoms range from mild to severe including, feeling sad, loss of interest or pleasure, change in appetite, trouble sleeping or getting too much sleep, feeling worthless, difficulty concentrating, and thoughts of death or suicide (American Psychiatric Association, 2021). To be diagnosed with depression, symptoms must last at least two weeks and present a change in level of functioning (National Institute of Men ...
BRIEF REPORTSocial Anxiety Disorder and Memory for Positiv.docxjasoninnes20
BRIEF REPORT
Social Anxiety Disorder and Memory for Positive Feedback
Brianne L. Glazier and Lynn E. Alden
University of British Columbia
Clinical theorists postulate that individuals with social anxiety disorder (SAD) display memory biases
such that recall of social events becomes more negative with time; however, alternative memory models
have also been proposed. Research has focused predominantly on selective recall of negative information
with inconsistent findings. The goal of the current study was to examine potential biases in recall of
positive social feedback. Individuals with SAD (n � 59) and nonanxious community controls (n � 63)
engaged in an unexpected public speaking task and received standardized positive or neutral feedback on
their speech. Participants were asked to recall the feedback after 5 minutes and after 1 week. Results
indicated that at delayed recall, individuals with SAD recalled positive feedback as less positive than it
had been. The findings support cognitive models of SAD and extend the model to positive social
information. Research is needed to understand the mechanisms that underlie fading positivity.
General Scientific Summary
Individuals with social anxiety disorder display a pattern of eroding positivity in their recall of
positive social feedback.
Keywords: memory bias, public speaking, social anxiety disorder
Supplemental materials: http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/abn0000407.supp
Clinical theorists propose that individuals with social anxiety
disorder (SAD) focus on negative information during social events
and repeatedly retrieve and ponder this information after the event.
This selective retrieval process is hypothesized to progressively
alter memories such that recollections of events become more
negative over time (Clark & Wells, 1995; Rapee & Heimberg,
1997). An alternative model is suggested by memory studies that
find individuals without SAD often display a positivity bias, re-
calling events as more positive than they were (e.g., Levine,
Schmidt, Kang, & Tinti, 2012; Schacter, Guerin, & St. Jacques,
2011; Wilson & Ross, 2003). This bias is hypothesized to arise
from an adaptive self-protective drive to maintain self-esteem
(Wilson & Ross, 2003). People prone to negative affect, such as
those with social anxiety, are postulated to lack this self-protective
tendency (e.g., Koban et al., 2017). The difference between these
two models has implications for SAD interventions, namely
whether to modify postevent retrieval, thereby offsetting negative
biases, or to address ways to capitalize on positive outcomes to
build social self-esteem.
The method used to evaluate the two models is the same, namely
assessing change in memory between immediate and delayed
recall. Further, both models assume that selective recall is more
likely to occur if the stimuli involve threat and self-referent (vs.
other-referent) encoding (Brendle & Wenzel, 2004; Mansell &
Clark, 1999). In the domain of social anxiety, two typ ...

Anger is a powerful emotion that can have an effect on a person's life, including social, spiritual, and psychological dimensions. Anger is natural, and it is one of the major human emotions. This emotion shows that there is a problem within a relation, and it could result from untimely expectations, frustrations, invasion of privacy, insults, breach of confidence, and unreasoned thoughts and beliefs. The downside of anger is that it prevents a person from attaining their goals, and this is why anger management is important.
Since anger manifests in different ways across different individuals and its causes are varied, managing it can be a problem. Professionals in sociopsychological and behavioral sciences are invested in anger management as they try to provide people with coping skills and information on the impacts of anger on their biopsychosocial health as well as the surrounding.
Most of the problems facing humanity currently can be attributed to anger. Some of these problems include increase in youth crimes, family abuse, terrorist attacks, and racial conflicts. Despite this, anger disorders are not classified in diagnostic classification systems. The various methods of managing anger show the need for and importance of anger avoidance.
There are some comparative research on the magnitude of anger as well as techniques to manage anger in the form of meta-analysis and systematic reviews. Some of the social science resources that can be used to investigate anger management can be found in scientific search engines such as PubMed. Keywords such as anger management and anger control are especially useful when searching for relevant resources that relate to the main topic. Recent sources that have sustainable outcomes and use cognitive-behavioral approaches to anger management were selected.
The resources selected include 1) The effect of adaptation theory-based therapeutic approach on adolescents anger management (Doğan & Çam, 2020), 2) Cognitive behavioral skill-based training program for enhancing anger control among youth (Sharma, Hamza, Marimuthu, & Murli, 2016), and 3) The efficacy of a resilience-enhancement program for mothers in Japan based on emotion regulation (Tobe, Sakka, & Kamibeppu, 2019).
All of these three sources have employed a cognitive-behavioral approach in the management of anger. However, the resources look at methods for managing anger for different demographics, more specifically, adolescents, youth, and mothers. Since most of the anger management techniques that are successful, implement therapeutic approaches and cognitive-behavioral methods, the selected sources are, therefore, relevant and appropriate in investigating anger management since they have high empirical support.
Anger management is intertwined with social science principles. Social roles depend heavily on anger management so as to avoid role strain. Role strain is where individ ...

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

I. INTRODUCTION
Anger is a psychological state. Psychological states are cognitive, emotional and physiological states
that are revealed at a certain moment and that may show extreme fluctuations as time changes (Bushman, Vagg
and Spielberger, 2005). If an individual gets hurt, if their rights are violated, if things go wrong with them, if
they are limited or get scared, they usually feel anger. Even though it is a natural emotion, when experienced so
often and manifested in an uncontrolled manner, anger gets one into trouble, causes damage to their
surrounding, destroys their relationships and causes them to face many problems (Dryden, 1996; quoted in
Selby, 2006).
When the body of literature on how anger is formed, as well as how the way of expressing it is
improved, is examined, different explanations are observed. As the founder of the social learning theory,
Bandura addresses anger with the term aggression, and describes the four stages related to the observational
learning. This process, which begins with paying attention to aggressive behaviors, is completed with the stages
of remembering information, realizing what is seen, and thinking of getting rewarded because of it. Bandura
states that all these four stages have to be passed so that the observed aggression creates aggressive behaviors in
a person (Burger, 2006). According to the Adlerian approach, anger is a typical example of the effort of being
strong and of influencing others. Adler (2003) defends that an angry person will have a purpose of forcefully
and immediately removing any obstacle. He emphasizes that, affected by their previous experiences, angry
people believe they can easily achieve whatever they want and have victory over those who are against them by
resorting to such mechanism. Adler (2003) suggests that some people have systemized anger. He continues
stressing that they are arrogant people who cannot stand the idea that others are superior to themselves or are at
the same level with them, and who believe that one has to be superior to all to be happy. As a result, he states,
these individuals are always alert and they pay attention whether anyone else is catching up with them or
whether they are appreciated enough.
According to the Cognitive Behavioral Approach, various situations experienced in life cause different
emotive reactions in individuals. Theoretically, an individual‟s reactions are determined by their perception
regarding such situations and occasions, as well as the meanings attributed to them (Campos, Schoebi, Gonzaga,
Gable and Keltner, 2015). The Cognitive Behavioral Approach refers to this cognitive process, which leads one
to attribute negative meanings and to feel bad, as schemes, automatic thoughts and cognitive distortions, which
the approach focuses on during a treatment process (Leahy, 2004). Considering the cognitive process that
creates anger, it is observed that anger is rooted by non-rational settled thoughts about others. For example,
“others should treat me in a thoughtful and lovely way, just as I want. If not, they are bad people, so they
deserve to be punished for the horrible behaviors.” Such non-rational thought usually makes one frustrated,
urges them to be rude and disagreeable, causing them to hold a grunge (Köroğlu, 2011).
Anger leads bursts of rage in a lifetime that will eventually turn into regret and create more
disappointment, making an individual‟s life a vicious cycle. This has a negative impact on the individual‟s
social and work life. Anger both prevents them from reasoning in a healthy manner and triggers aggressiveness
(Greenglass, 2005; Köroğlu, 2011). Such repeated negative and angry behaviors slowly limit one‟s living
experience, making them unhappier (Dryden, 1996; akt. Selby, 2006). Unfortunately, these people channel their

anger towards the most familiar people, namely spouses, children, friends or colleagues. The result is losing
their social support that plays an important role in coping with environmental stress, and since the negative
impact of anger will be felt more on their surrounding than themselves, they will be directed to mental health
services (Cummins, 2006; Köroğlu, 2011).
It is significant to realize and change the cognitive process that causes anger in order to gain the skill of
anger management and lessen the number of bursts of rage. Beck (2005) emphasizes that a person will get
angrier when it is perceived that an attack has been deliberately directed at them, when a behavior is regarded as
unfair, wrong or irrational, and when it is felt that their self-determination has been violated and they will face
an accusation. Moreover, if the opposite is the case, i.e. when it is thought that a mistake has been made
unintentionally with good intentions, or based on a right motive, he suggests that the individual will get less
angry.
The feeling of anger is not expressed merely by showing violent behavior. Some individuals refuse the
fact that they feel anger and oppress it, which results in damaging to themselves and –indirectly- to their
surroundings. A conducted research reveals that depression and a feeling of guilt may be observed more in
women with the tendency of repressing anger and chronic anxiety (Akgül, 2005; Biaggio, 2005).
Learning how to control anger and how to express this emotion in an appropriate way will help an
individual have a better quality of life. Regarding this, Jongsma, Peterson, Mclnnis and Bruce (2014) suggest
some methods, which are as follows:
Learn and apply anger management skills,
Lessen the intensity and frequency of bursts of rage,
Communicate with the surrounding in an appropriate manner.
In line with their objectives, it is observed that group studies for coping with anger that have been
created based on the Cognitive Behavioral Approach have been effective at providing information and skills
regarding developing healthy and functional thoughts, and behaviorally realizing those thoughts. When studies
performed in Turkey are taken into account, it is concluded that the anger management program, which Karataş
(2009) conducted by using cognitive behavioral techniques, was effective in regards to decreasing the
aggressiveness scores of high school students, and that this effect continued until the monitoring measurement
that was completed 12 weeks later. As a result of the studies where the effect of anger management training has
been examined, Şahin (2006) finds out a decrease in aggressive behaviors of students of 10-11 ages, while
Özkamalı and Buğra (2010) obtain findings showing that it affected university students‟ constant anger levels in
a positive and permanent way. In a similar research, Akgül (2005) confirms that anger is a significant emotional
reaction that may be seen in adolescents, as in those of any age. At the end of the group study for anger control,
adolescents were proved to have a higher anger control level. Based on the conducted literature analysis, it is
concluded that anger control programs performed with high school students (Akdeniz, 2007; Gebeş, 2011; Avcı,
2012; Şimşek, 2012; Tuna, 2012; Çetinkaya, 2013; Keçialan, 2013) had a positive impact on their anger
management.
Reducing the number of negative situations arising from anger and developing appropriate coping
skills contain several acquisitions in relation to both personal mental health and social security. In the light of
the relevant literature, this study is prepared with the group to offer a psychological consultancy program, which
mental health professionals -especially those who work with adolescents- can use, with the aim of informing
them of the feeling and control of anger, as well as helping them develop healthy coping skills. Consisting of
eight sessions, this psychological consultancy program is structured based on the descriptions that the
Cognitive-Behavioral approach has developed regarding anger. With its fundamental practices, the study aims
the following: realizing emotion-thought-behavior relationship; following up and recording the cognitive
process; questioning non-realistic thoughts and improving an alternative thought-behavior; having the ability to
use relaxation techniques; controlling feelings of anger by enhancing skills for expressing thoughts and
emotions appropriately, and having the ability to explain them in proper ways.
In line with these objectives, the hypotheses below are tested:
1. Following the developed psychological consultancy program for the students in the experiment group:
a. There will be a statistically meaningful decrease in the scores for anger, hostility and destructiveness in
favor of the experimental group.
b. There will be a statistically meaningful increase in the scores for positive coping, self-confident approach
and optimist approach in favor of the experimental group.
c. There will be a statistically meaningful decrease in the scores for desperate approach, submissive approach
and seeking social support in favor of the experimental group.
2. Following the experimental process, there will be a statistically meaningful decrease in the scores of the
students attending the experimental group and the control group for desperate approach, submissive
approach and seeking social support in favor of the experimental group.

II. RESEARCH METHOD
Study Model
This is a real experiment model research that has been completed in accordance with the pretest-
posttest control group model, which is built by the random assignment. The experimental group was exposed to
the application of an 8-week Cognitive-Behavioral Approach Based Anger Control Group study, while the
control group received no application. Following the performed studies, the effectiveness of working with
pretests and posttests were examined.
Study Group
The working group consisted of female students of 14-17 ages, who were studying at a high school at
the time of the experiment that they participated in voluntarily. Randomly, 10 female students were selected for
the experimental group, and 10 female students for the control group. The experimental and the control group‟s
scores for the scales regarding the Multidimensional School Anger Inventory and the Coping Styles for Anger
were tested with the Mann-Whitney U test, and there was no meaningful statistical difference between the
groups (Table 2).
Data Collection Tools
Multidimensional School Anger Inventory
Adapted into the Turkish language by Canbuldu (2006), the Multidimensional School Anger Inventory
was developed by Smith, Furlong, Bates and Laughlin (1998) so as to examine different forms of expressing
anger by means of items used in the school-relative content and to make an emotional and cognitive assessment
for anger. Including the subscales of Anger Experience, Hostility, Destructive Expression and Positive Coping,
this test is consisted of 33 items in total.
Ways of Coping Inventory
Folkman and Lazarus (1980) developed the Ways of Coping Inventory, and Şahin and Durak (1985)
conducted the studies regarding its validity and credibility in the Turkish language. The original Coping Styles
Scale for Stress was created based on the Cognitive-phenomenological approach developed by Lazarus. Being
one problem-focused active dimension and one emotion-focused passive dimension, two dimensions were
obtained as a result of the classification of the first 68-item scale. The Cronbach‟s Alpha was found to be 80 for
the problem-focused active sub-dimension and 81 for the emotion-focused passive sub-dimension (Şahin and
Durak, 1985).
Process
Based on the cognitive-behavioral approach and developed by researches, the program was comprised
of a total of 8 sessions, and each session, being approximately 90-minutes, took place once a week. In general
terms, the content of sessions is as follows:
In the first week, the aim was to have the acquaintance phase, to determine the group rules, and to
establish the expectations. Moreover, the topics on the description of anger, the body parts where it is felt, as
well as its emotional, behavioral and physiological indications were stressed. A relaxation activity was also
performed. During the second week, the negative effects of anger, false beliefs on anger, the A-B-C behavior
were explained with the use of various activities and examples, enabling the participants to offer examples from
their own lives. In the third week, examples and automatic thoughts on the behavior A-B-C were detailed and
supported by establishing a relationship with homework‟s.
During the course of the fourth week, short drama works were performed using the examples where
passive attitude, aggressive attitude, passive-aggressive attitude, correct self-assertive attitude, as well as the
attitude that was applied, were discovered. In the fifth week, some examples of attitudes showed in the daily life
were studied and supported with the use of plays. In the sixth week, the ability to say no to others was stressed
and related activities were conducted. In the seventh week, stress management and relaxation techniques were
practiced, and a discussion was initiated regarding how to apply those techniques in the participants‟ own lives.
During the eight and last week, the way of applying the information acquired by living as a group in their lives,
as well as their strengths and weaknesses, were explained, and the group process was finalized by the „goodbye‟
event.
Data Analysis
Being less than 30, the subjects failed to represent the universe displaying a normal distribution in the
data analysis (Sümbüloğlu & Sümbüloğlu, 2000); therefore, nonparametric statistical techniques were used.

III. FINDINGS
With the aim of testing the effectiveness of the psychological consultancy program with the developed
Cognitive-Behavioral based group, the arithmetic mean and standard deviation values obtained from the pretest
and posttest scores of the experimental and control groups‟ “The Multidimensional School Anger Inventory”
and “Ways of Coping Inventory” were calculated and the related findings are indicated on Table 1.

When the acquired data is examined, it is seen that the pretest experimental group and the control
group have very similar means regarding anger experience, while there is a decrease in the posttest anger
experience in favor of the experimental group (the experimental group x=31.1, the control group x=34,9).
As for the hostility subscale, an increase was observed in both of the groups in favor of the posttest.
While there was no a big change in the “Destructive Expression” subscale test, it was seen that the “Positive
coping” average score went up in favor of the experimental group posttest. When the experimental group pretest
and posttest scores obtained by the Ways of Coping Inventory Subscales are examined, it is understood that the
approaches of self-confidence, optimism, submission and seeking social support moved up, while the average of
the desperate approach was confirmed to nearly stay the same. When the averages of the control group pretest
and posttest scores are analyzed, it is ascertained that there was a decrease in the self-confident and desperate
approaches, an increase in the submissive approach, and no significant change in the optimistic and consulting
to the social support averages.
With the help of the Mann Whitney-U test, prior to the application of the psychological consultancy
program with the developed group, it was tested whether there was a difference between the pretest scores of the
experimental and control groups regarding the scales, and the findings are stated on Table 2.

Following the application of the 8-week program, developed for coping with anger, on the
experimental group, the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test was benefited in order to compare the experimental
group‟s pretest and posttest scores regarding the “Multidimensional School Anger Inventory” and “Ways of
Coping Inventory”. The findings are presented on Table 3 and Table 4.

*p<.05
According to the Wilcoxon test results displayed on Table 3, the pretest and posttest scores regarding
the subscales of “anger experience”, “destructive expression” and “hostility” provided no statistically
meaningful difference, while the “positive coping” subtests (Z= -2,203, p<.05) presented a statistically
meaningful difference in favor of the posttest. Based on that, positive coping was found to be high in those
participated in the experimental group subsequent to the process.
According to the Wilcoxon test results showed on Table 4, the experimental group had a meaningful
difference regarding the subscales of the “self-confident” (Z=-2,145; p<.05), “optimistic” (Z=-2,399; p<.05) and
“submissive” (Z=--2,388; p<.05) in favor of the posttest scores. In other words, following the applied program,
there was a meaningful increase in the experimental group‟s scores in relation to the self-confident, optimistic
and submissive. On the other hand, there was no statistically meaningful difference found in the subtests of
“helpless styles” and the “seeking social support”.
By applying the Mann-Whitney U Test Results Between the Experimental-Control Group
Multidimensional School Anger Inventory and the Posttest Scores for Ways Of Coping, the meaningfulness of
the difference between the scores obtained from the two unrelated samples were tested, and the acquired results
are given on Table 5.

When the experimental and control groups‟ posttest scores regarding the scales were analyzed, there
were no statistically meaningful differences found. However, even though no statistical meaningfulness was
obtained, it was observed that the differences in the experimental group‟s averages were more prominent, when
the averages were examined.
In addition to the statistical analyses, the group members were asked to assess the study as a whole at
the end of the process and the content analysis of the written assessments were fulfilled. In general, all the group
members stated that the applied event was fit for purpose, that the information on the anger control provided by
the group leader was sufficient, and that the group was, in general, well structured. Moreover, the members
emphasized that they felt comfortable during the course of the group works, and that they enjoyed the activities
including game playing, role-playing and painting etc. Additionally, when asked to express the most influential
occasions they had during the group process, they told about controlling anger, realizing that their cognitive
processes affected their emotions and behaviors, the ways of saying no, and relaxation activities.
IV. DISCUSSION
The high school years in Turkey coincide with the adolescence period when fast changes in all
improvement areas and adaptation problems that come along with it arise. During this period, an adolescent has
to carry out their development duties such as adapting to the changing body, being able to express themselves in
a correct way during the unexpected ups and downs, having a place within the society, and building a healthy
identity (Santrock, 2011). Having skills that are abstract and beyond abstract at the though level, the adolescent
occasionally develops non-realistic and irrational thoughts and beliefs and is able to use this cognitive process to
perceive themselves, others and the life and to cope with problems (Campos, Schoebi, Gonzaga, Gable and
Keltner, 2015). Those thoughts, which are assumed to be developed owing to the interactions with close circles,
including especially family environment at the early stages of life (Türkçapar, 2012) affect emotions, attitudes
and tendencies, and have an immense impact on the adolescent‟s interpersonal relations, stress experiences and
coping skills (Beck, 2001).
The cognitive behavioral approach suggests that the mentality created by persons towards certain
incidents affect their attitudes. The rational thought developed for incidents causes them to have positive
feelings, and irrational thoughts emerging from the opposite conditions result in negative feelings. Theoretically,
thoughts with automatic negative characteristics are accepted to be changeable with the help of alternative
healthy thoughts (Beck, 2005; Beck, Freeman and Davis, 2008).
In the light of the relevant literature, based on this assumption, this study aims to apply and analyze the
effective of the “Anger Control Program” developed based on the Cognitive-Behavioral Approach for high
school students. In line with this primary purpose, it is comprised of 8 psychological consultancy sessions where
20 high school students, 10 being in the control group and 10 being in the experimental group, participated.
Prior to the application of the developed program, the experimental and control groups were compared
with each other in terms of their anger experiences and coping skills, reaching the conclusion that the two
groups were similar. The main hypothesis of the research was established suggesting that the applied anger
control program would create differences in the experimental group. The obtained findings show that there was
an increase in the coping skills of the students that joined the experimental group, subsequent to the
experimental process. The increased positive coping approach, which was accomplished at the end of this

cognitive-behavioral approach based program, suggests that the individuals cognitively became stronger
regarding the anger control aimed by this study. Anger is a fundamental negative emotion that causes one to feel
in danger or under threat. It has also a strong relationship with hostility and often supports destructive behaviors
(Spielberg and Reheiser, 2010). It is considered to be important for persons to improve their skills for expressing
themselves and their furiousness in a positive manner by controlling the negative effects of anger.
When the findings on the coping styles for anger are examined, the participants in the experimental
group are seen to have improved their manners of approaching in regards to self-confidence, optimistic and
submission. The self-confident and optimistic are active coping styles against a problem, while the submissive is
a passive coping style towards an emotion (Şahin and Durak, 1985). In the applied program, the purpose was to
develop active coping styles against a problematic situation. In this sense, the fact that the self-confident and
optimistic styles were observed to have a meaningful increase shows that the program functioned in terms of
accomplishing the aimed change. On the other hand, the fact that one of the participants expressed the problem
of “not being able to say no” during the sessions and the positive acceptance and perception towards this
mentality drew attention. It is considered that this attitude and perception of this member, being a loved and
acknowledged member within the group, might have affected other members, leading them to make a positive
assessment regarding the submissive approach. On the assessment form for the study, some students indicated
the said member‟s name as a response to the question asking the group member who influenced them the most.
In this sense, the part spared for the activities to say no may be enriched to have a more functional program in
order to fulfill the desired purpose.
The completed study consisted of students that were studying at a high school. In the high school
curriculum, there are some in-class activities for stress, anger management, conflict solving etc., which are
improved for counselors to study during counseling courses. Therefore, it is not possible to fully isolate the
control group from anger management studies. It is considered that the reason why the examination made
between the posttests of the experimental group and the control group had no statistical difference is that the
control group‟s members were exposed to and learned about the information, such as anger control. However,
the experimental group‟s members displayed a greater improvement in terms of anger control management than
those of the control group. This suggests the group works that are prepared in more detail and that allow
individuals to open up more are more effective than in-class counseling activities.
In conclusion, although the applied psychological counseling program created some desired changes in
the participants‟ cognitive processes, this study has some limitations. A random selection was performed so as
to assign group members for the experimental group and the control group without completing a general
screening test. For the future studies, it is suggested to establish an experimental group and a control group
based on the pilot studies in order to overcome this limitation. Moreover, there was no monitoring study
conducted due to the institutional change of the responsible researcher, which is another limitation to the study.
On the other hand, this program was applied to a group consisted of students of a science high school. It is
considered that it would be beneficial to test the efficiency of program by applying it to different high school
groups.
