In this study quantitative research design was used, Trait Anger (T Anger) and Anger Expression Scales (AngerEX), Aggression Questionnaire (AQ) and socio-demographic information form were applied to 200 adolescents between 13-18 years in order to analyze the quantitative data obtained from these scales and assess the relationship between aggression and anger levels of adolescents. As a result of the research, it was determined that the adolescents in the sample group had a meaningful relationship between their parents' survival, their relationship with their friends, their sibling numbers, educational status, aggression and anger levels (p <0,05). Besides it was seen that the social activities organized by the organization contributed to a significant decrease in the anger levels of the adolescents.
