This research aimed to review trait anger-anger expression styles of footballers who play in amateur football clubs in Pendik district of İstanbul Province by certain variables. Entirely 100 male footballers who play in 7 different amateur football clubs participated in this research. Trait Anger-Anger Expression Style Scale that was developed by Spielberger et all., (1983) and demographic information form were used to collect the data. Descriptive statistical methods, Pearson Correlation and ANOVA test were used to evaluate the data. According to analyzed results, there was no statistically significant difference (p>0,05) among trait anger, anger-in anger-out, anger management and total anger scores based on footballers’ educational background, age ranges, sporting years and the clubs. On the other hand, there was a positive significant relationship between trait anger and anger-in, between trait anger and anger-out. A negative significant relationship was found between anger management and trait anger. Moreover, a negative significant relationship between anger-out and anger management. In conclusion, it can be said that as the anger level increases, anger-in and anger-out level of footballers’ increase; however, anger management decreases at the same time. As the anger-out increases, anger management of footballers decreases.Downloads
