A Study of Anger Cognition in Nepal

Abstract

Anger is a strong human emotion that can often become dysfunctional leading to aggression and conflict in human relationships. The aim of the present paper is to evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention developed by Van Leuven and colleagues using an anger scale developed by the same author. This will be initiated with a literature review concerning anger and anger cognition, followed by the results of the Life Without Anger (LWA) educational curriculum presented to 7th grade students throughout various schools in Nepal. It is believed by the authors that targeted education regarding anger cognition will have a positive outcome on students who participate in the curriculum.
