The first part of the questionnaire includes “Personal Information Form” and the second part includes “Multidimensional Anger Scale” and “Brief Symptom Inventory“. In the analysis of sociodemographic data and scale scores, descriptive statistics, normality test, and Spearman correlation analysis were used. Results: 180 of the participants were women.
