Abstract
This study was carried out to examine the applicability of peace counseling in the management of a very common human reaction called ‘anger’. 97(37 female and 30 male) graduate students of University of Lagos participated in the study. 34 participants were in the treatment group exposed to peace counseling while 33 participants were in the delayed treatment/control group. The results obtained from comparing the pre- and post-test scores of both groups using the analysis of variance and the General Linear Modal statistics showed that there was a significant difference in the mean scores and then specifically, those who went through treatment reported a significant reduction in their manifestationsof anger than those in the control group. However, no significant gender-based differencewas found in the analyses .This shows that whether female or male, people manifest anger that could be disruptive and that they could equally benefit from peace counseling.
