Abstract

This study was designed to investigate the relationship between the self-perceptions concerning problem-solving skills, trait anger, expression of anger, hope and self-esteem of 35 women who applied to a refuge in Ankara between January 1999 and July 1999, suffering from family violence. The multiple-correlation scores demonstrated that there was a reverse correlation between the self-perceptions concerning the women's problem-solving skills and hope as well as self-esteem; there is a significant correlation in the same direction between control of anger and trait anger as well as anger-out, and between hope and self-esteem. In the regression analysis which was made in the light of these findings, it was found that self-esteem could predict the self-perceptions concerning problem-solving skills and hope, and that trait anger and anger-out could predict the control of anger. The findings were evaluated in the light of the existing literature and some suggestions were made.
