Editing Anger management (section)

=== Positive mentalization and personal development ===

This is a style that is commonly used in elementary schools for students expressing anger outbursts. Researchers who have looked into the reason for young student anger have found that one common reason could be the inability to adjust socially. Students that were selected for this study received a daily one-hour session throughout one week of school. The researchers of the [[mentalization]] program educated children through group therapy in [[positive psychology]] and tried to do activities that put the child in a happy mood while interacting. At the end of the week, research showed that there was a negative correlation between anger and social adjustment. This process lowered the overall anger levels of the students involved in social adjustment deficits.<ref>{{cite journal|author1=Rohini, N.

Use of [[personal development]] (PD) led to higher views of themselves and more positive [[self-esteem]]. Aggression has been shown to be a result of poor self-worth as well as thinking that those around us do not care or support us, so this PD is vital in helping change a person's [[self-perception]].<ref>{{cite journal|author1=Down, R.|author2=Willner, P.|author3=Watts, L.|author4=Griffiths, J.|name-list-style=amp|year=2011|title=Anger management groups for adolescents: A mixed-methods study of efficacy and treatment preferences|journal=Clinical Child Psychology and Psychiatry|volume=16|issue=1|pages=33–52|doi=10.1177/1359104509341448|pmid=20223794|s2cid=27909142}}</ref>
