Though previous studies have focused on increasing argumentativeness and reducing verbal aggressiveness, this study is the first to explore the role of anger and anger management. This study also examined the trainees’ perceived usefulness and effectiveness of the training program. Pre- and post- test data of trainees’ verbal aggressiveness and argumentativeness supported previous research that training in these areas could increase one’s argumentativeness while reducing their tendency to engage in verbal aggression. Trainees’ perceptions of the training suggested that they were more comfortable presenting arguments after instruction on the Inventional System. Trainees also indicated that they felt training in argumentativeness, verbal aggression and anger management was useful and effective. 2016 English text University of Akron / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=akron1478859662380878 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=akron1478859662380878 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
