The study sample has been randomly and equally divided into two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The results showed the presence of statistically significant differences at the level of α ≤ 0.05 between the mean scores of the experimental group and the control group on each of the post-test , and the follow -up test in the skill level of anger management , and showed a rise in the experimental group's level of skill of anger management compared to the control group .
