What was the purpose of this study? The purpose of the study is to determine the effectiveness of anger management training, specifically, with adolescent males with conduct disorder (Gliner, Harmon, & Morgan, 2000). What was the sample? The sample size consisted of 16 students (8 experimental and 8 controls (Gliner, Harmon, & Morgan, 2000). What dependent variable(s) were studied? How were the dependent variable(s) operationalized? The dependent variable is anger management. The dependent variable is operationalized by providing the study group anger control training to help the students control their anger (Gliner, Harmon, & Morgan, 2000). Why was a single-subject design used? What are the strengths of a single-subject design? The single- subject design was used because the researcher paired the students to compare the students that received treatment in comparison to the students that did not receive treatment (Whitfield, 1999). The strength of using the single- subject study is because typically when the researcher is using single-subject study, they are using very few participants, which allows the researcher to have flexibility in their design …show more content…
Client 2 had small changes from the baseline to intervention (Gliner, Harmon, & Morgan, 2000). Client 3 showed improvement in the baseline and invention (Gliner, Harmon, & Morgan, 2000). Client 4 showed there were slight improvement from baseline to intervention (Gliner, Harmon, & Morgan, 2000). Client 5 had overall improvement. Client 6 had minimal change from baseline to intervention (Gliner, Harmon, & Morgan, 2000). Client 7 showed improvement from baseline to intervention. Client 8 showed great improvement (Gliner, Harmon, & Morgan, 2000). Based on the high anger control scale scores the students that receive anger control training have shown patterns of improvement (Gliner, Harmon, & Morgan,
Deffenbacher (2004) recommended using research-supported interventions and tailoring them to user needs. First, positive findings support relaxation interventions providing skills to reduce emotional and physiologic arousal. Second, cognitive interventions changing anger-engendering attitudes, beliefs and self-talk.
Objective 1: AEB a reduction of 75% of Robert’s maladaptive behavior responses relating to conflicts with others by the end of the 3 month treatment period based on his self-reporting Behavior Anger Response Questionnaire (BARQ).
Anger is often a difficult emotion to express and understand and it has come to be recognized as a significant social problem that our society facing today. This paper discusses the efficacy of the Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and the Emotion-focused therapy (EFT) for treating patient with anger problems and compared therapists’ view on emotion which how they see emotion as the prime mover in human experience in different ways respectively. Besides, the development, overview and the similarities of CBT & EFT has been critically compared and discussed in this essay. CBT and EFT conceptualize emotional problems differently and employ different techniques in each therapy. Although the CBT and EFT possess many distinct

In the 1980’s Dr. Barry Glick and Dr. Arnold P. Goldstein crafted the Aggression Replacement Training (ART) to respond to the rising incidents of violent crimes perpetrated by juvenile offenders (Glick and Goldstein, 1987). ART is a 10-week, 30-hour training program which consists of three components: Structured Learning Training, Anger Control
A: MHP assisted Ty’Kevinyon in recognizing successful strategies that have been used on days when he controls his temper and does not hit siblings, peers, or others. MHP coached in meditation and self-control strategies to help Ty’Kevinyon convey his anger through suitable statements and healthy physical outlets. MHP encouraged his mother to supply continuous praise and positive reinforcement for his positive social behaviors and better anger control. MHP recommended that Ty’Kevinyon expresses his anger in a positive manner. MHP provided reinforcements for positive behavior.
Hypothesis 3: Individuals who participated in anger management, parenting classes, and life skills classes will report more positive family relationships after release.
Utilizing strategies and techniques to effectively manage anger can be difficult, the lack of anger management can result in serious consequences. The literature suggest that problems related to anger and aggression can cause difficulty in many areas of life. In addition, it can cause impaired functionality for
QP engaged Maunica in participating in a CBT activity geared towards the aggression cycle. QP explained to Maunica that the activity examine the aggressive cycle and progressive muscle relaxation technique that can help to reduce anger level. QP explained to Maunica the three phases of the aggression cycle, which consist of escalation, explosion, and post explosion. QP asked Maunica to list some things that can cause her anger to escalate. QP asked Maunica, what level has her anger reached. QP reviewed with Maunica thing that triggers her anger. QP brainstormed with Maunica some of her anger cues. QP reviewed with Maunica negative consequences that are associated with anger explosion. QP assisted Maunica in identifying the cues that occurs
An experimental pre-post intervention study was conducted by means of a survey of students’ aggression in which the training programme was the intervention. Participants received an training programme, and the study was conducted over two time periods, period 1, before intervention, in February 2016, and period 2, after intervention, in May 2016, and the training programme took place between the two (March 2016). Consequently, the reported effects can be attributed to the neurofeedback
Anger management therapy may be delivered in individual or group settings. Classes are designed to address specific types of anger issues, including relationship, parenting, adolescent, and work-related anger or rage. Individuals may be court-ordered to attend an anger management class as a result of a domestic or legal issue. Therapy is offered on a continuing basis, but people interested in anger management may also enroll in a retreat or online session, where offered. Most anger management therapies include homework assignments and exercises that strengthen the techniques learned and allow the person in therapy to practice them in real-life situations. (Awalt, 1997)
As it was a laboratory based study, making it easily replicable. Any film clips and questions asked can be easily used again for different groups. This is strength because it can check for consistency of results. Making this study high in internal validity.
Treatment goals one, two, and three pertained to the client’s progress in therapy and involvement of MOC and FOC. The first one was for the client to identify though play or verbalization his reasons for anger outbursts. The second was for the therapist and the client to identify alterative manners of dealing and managing his aggression. The third goal was to assist the client’s parents in providing appropriate responses the client’s anger outburst. The fourth goal was to increase the number of friends in the client’s peer groups.
The data for each participant will be plotted by the phase and visually analyzed for the stability, level, variation, and trend. Visual analysis is the primary data analysis method used for single subject designs (Olive & Smith, 2005; Portney & Watkins, 2000). In single subject designs, the research hypotheses are tested by analyzing the adjacent phases for a level, trend, and slope. Change in a level refers to change in the value or magnitude of a performance of the dependent variable. Trend is the direction of change of a target behavior within a phase and the slope of the trend is the rate of change within the data (Portney & Watkins, 2000)
