School Alienation and Perceived Social Support as Predictors of School Anger in High School Students

Abstract

This study aims to examine the prediction power of school alienation and perceived social support the for the school anger dimensions in high school students. The study was conducted on a total of 500 high school students, 201 of whom were female and 299 were male. The data of the study were collected through the Multidimensional School Anger Scale, School Alienation Scale and Perceived Social Support Scale. In order to determine the prediction power of the school alienation and perceived social support for school anger
dimensions, standard multiple regression analysis was used. According to the results of this study, while the school alienation predicts the anger experiences, hostility and destructive expression positively, it predicts positive coping negatively. The findings of the study also show that different social support sourches (family, teacher and friend) predicted different school anger dimensions.
