The aim of this study is to examine the role of human values in predicting trait anger and anger expression styles in adolescents. A total number of 302 students (182 girls and 120 boys) participated in the study. In this study, human values were measured with Moral Maturity Scale; trait anger and anger expression styles were measured with State-Trait Anger Expression Scale. Data analysis were conducted with SPSS 16.0 statistical package program in .01 significance level. All data were analyzed by t-test, correlation and regression. According to the findings of the study, it was seen that human values significantly predicted trait anger and anger expression styles (anger-in, anger-out and anger control). Implications of these findings are discussed and suggestions are presented within the context of literature.
