Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop a tea-culture therapy program to improve anger control ability of juvenile delinquents and to examine the effect of the program. A tea-culture therapy program of 10-session was developed and applied to 20 juvenile delinquents (10 for experimental group and 10 for control group). The results indicated that the anger scores of participants were reduced significantly after the program (from 90.7 to 86.8). More specifically, the cognitive anger score (from 27.1 to 25.7), emotional anger score (from 30.1 to 28.7), and behavioral anger score (from 33.5 to 32.4) of participants were reduced significantly after the program. The results showed that the tea-culture therapy program was effective in enhancing the anger control ability of juvenile delinquents.
