Summary
Anger is one of the avoided emotions. Viewed as one of three basic human emotions (McClellan, J., Levitt, K., & DiClementi, G., 2017), anger is defined as a destructive emotion related to certain problems and sadness (Lök, N., Bademli, K., & Canbaz, M., 2018). Vocational high school students, ranging from 16 to 18 years old, undergo what is known as the late adolescence stage During this stage, they experience some emotional changes metaphorically depicted as the storm period (Rahmi, 2017). According to Wigati (2013), two factors may lead to anger, namely physical and psychological factors The former includes excessive fatigue, lack of certain substances, and hormonal matters. Anger is the most avoided emotion (McClellan, J., Levitt, K., & DiClementi, G., 2017) since it may result in a range of harmful impacts on individuals. Poor anger management may adversely individuals, leading to various negative impacts, including aggressiveness. The result of the present study is expected to serve as a foundation for school counselors to design a guidance and counseling program and technique to improve students’ anger management skills
