Abstract

In order to investigate anger in mothers of educable mentally retarded and slow learner children, based on their occupation and level of education, a total of 100 mothers completed the Multidimensional Anger Inventory (Siegel, 1986) and a demographic information questionnaire. Data were analyzed using two-way analysis of variance. Results showed a significant relationship between level of education with anger arousal and anger-in. More precisely, mothers with higher educational level showed lower anger arousal and anger-in. No significant differences were found between anger of mothers with different occupational status (housewife versus employed). Confirming the relationship between anger and level of education, the present research can be helpful in devising educational policies for mothers.© 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
