A purpose of this study is to develop anger management for a children and mother to verify effectiveness by practicing this program.
For this study I have chosen 3 groups and 7 people in each group, to participate on this program. Group 1 practiced 8 times for a mother and 2 times for a child. Group 2 practiced 8 times only for a child. The last group, which is controlled group, hasn't tried any practice at all. The state of before and after were checked for all those three groups.
To verify this program, STAXI-K(Gyeomgoo Jeon,1996) were used for a qualitative verification only to compare state of before and after. For the qualitative verification, open questions were asked.
As a result, after practicing anger program, group 1 and 2 showed meaningful reduction of anger express then controlled group. This also appears in the statistics. For the complement of result for their reaction analysis test paper, three programs were the most useful for children: "anger control game"(100%), "anger escape game"(100%), and "anger express"(99%).
This study proved the effectiveness of reducing anger rate and improving anger control ability by practicing anger management program. Also practicing, both existing program and developed program, at same time helped to get a better result.
But, this study has few limitations as follow. This study only limited on 5th and 6th grade children and their mothers in community children center. Since they are only a few and a study was done in a short period time, it is not suitable to apply on general.
Therefore, I suggest further study as follow.
First of all, this program should be practiced not once a week but almost every day at home with parents because there are limitations to be accepted the program if they have a time to meet only once a week. Therefore parents who spent almost time with children should recognize what they need and pay attention to their children to have an effect as applying the program. That is why children should be motivated for continuous guide from their parents.
Secondly, for the continuance effectiveness by practicing this program, children should be supported on this program to control anger from home and school.
Third, by developing anger management program for mothers, these programs should be verified and supplied the effectiveness of relationship between mother and children from school and local community.
Fourth, diverse studies which have different ages and can make up for anger control programs must be developed.
