Management of anger and its effect on incarcerated assaultive and nonassaultive offenders.
Scores of inmates who had been incarcerated for assaultive offenses, property offenses, or a combination of offenses were compared on personality and intelligence inventories. Anger-management programming was given to 57 male offenders two hours per week over five weeks. Self-esteem, anxiety, and aggression, measured before and after the program, showed significant differences.
