Abstract
This study examined the effect of parents` neglect behavior and children`s irrational beliefs on children`s anger expression style. The participants were 379 5th and 6th grade elementary school children. The major findings were as follows. Children tended to perceive higher levels of their parents` cognitive and emotional neglect than physical and home environmental neglect. Boys perceived higher levels of their parents` physical, supervisory and home environmental neglect than girls, and girls showed higher level of excessively self-expecting belief than boys. There were statistically significant correlations between the parents` neglect behavior, their child`s irrational beliefs and anger expression style. A regression analysis showed that parents` physical and cognitive neglect were predictors of children`s anger control. Children`s excessive apprehension and avoidance beliefs were the best predictors of children`s anger-in, while children`s deterministic belief was the best predictor of children`s anger-out. Parents` physical neglect behavior appeared to be powerful predictor.
