The purpose of this study was to develop an Anger Scale for Junior High School Students. Subjects were 326 junior high school students (167 boys and 159 girls).
First, the scale (36 items) was developed from a pilot test. Factor analysis suggested a four factor solution ("Relationship with friends", "Relationship with parents", "Frustration", and "Relationship with teachers"). The scale also showed acceptable levels of reliability and validity. In addition, a related factor of anger was analyzed by using this scale. The following results were obtained:
(1) The anger level of students who feel high levels of stress is high.
(2) The anger level of students who cannot understand the lesson is high.
(3) The anger level for friends is high for students who have been bullied.
