Abstract EN

The present study aimed at measuring the impact of a life-skills counseling program on reducing anger and increasing life satisfaction among a sample of adolescents.

The study population consisted of 124 students in grades 10 and 11 in one of Abu Dhabi schools in the UAE.

In order to achieve the objectives of the study, the researcher has used the state anger scale and the life satisfaction scale.

Based on the scores of the study population on the above scales, a study sample was selected which consisted of 30 students who were randomly divided into two groups: an experimental group and a control group, with each group consisting of 15 students.

The experimental group received the life skills training program, while the control group did not receive any treatment program.

The results indicated that the experimental group showed a statisticallysignificant higher decline in anger and a statistically-significant higher improvement in life satisfaction compared to the control group.
