Introduction

Adolescence, one of the key stages of development, is a period when many fundamental physical and psychological changes occur. Adolescents must cope with a higher number of the biopsychosocial changes compared to children. They may have difficulties in managing their emotions and behavior because they still do not have sufficient levels effective coping experience (Blakemore & Mills, 2014; Holder & Blaustein, 2014). One of the keys to a trouble-free adolescence is to recognize the emotions intensely felt during this period and to control the behaviors displayed because of these emotions (Kidwell, Van Dyk, Guenther, & Nelson, 2016). Anger is one of the common feelings with potentially destructive consequences experienced by everyone at one time or another in daily life (Berkowitz & Harmon-Jones, 2004). Anger is a constructive force when it is used to solve problems, correct an injustice or a mistake, or restore self-esteem and pride. Although anger is a natural, healthy, appropriate, life-enhancing emotion, it nonetheless may be destructive to a child's psychological and physical wellbeing if not appropriately managed (Ayebami & Janet, 2017; ModrcinMcCarthy, Pullen, Barnes, & Alpert, 1998).
