Individuals with choleric temperaments easily get angry and can be problematic if not expressed appropriately. The purpose of this study was to identify gender differences in anger expressions among secondary school students. Respondents were secondary school students in four states in the Northern region of Malaysia. A total of 3348 students were involved, including 1,800 males and 1,548 females. Respondents aged between 13 and 16 were randomly selected from 20 secondary schools. Descriptive analyses and t-test were used to identify anger expressions among secondary school students. Findings showed that 780 respondents agreed that they are hot-tempered, while 2568 others did not. From the 780 hot-tempered respondents, 370 are males and 410 are females.

<p>The purpose of this study is to investigate writing tendencies of secondary school students with regards to different variables. Descriptive survey model was used in the study to find out students’ general writing tendencies. Writing Tendency Inventory which was adapted into Turkish by İşeri and Ünal (2010)  and which has 21 items, was used in this study. The sampling of this study consists of 1145 secondary school students in 2013-2014 academic year. T-test and one-way variance analysis were used in the analysis of the collected data in this study. The findings of this study reveal that there has been a significant difference in students’ writing tendencies depending on their classes, gender, their state of keeping or not keeping a diary, the number of the books that they read in the former year, the reading group that they feel they belong to  and the state of their liking or not liking to read. As a conclusion of the study, it can be suggested that secondary students’ writing tendencies (with regards to reliance, passion and continuity sub-dimensions) are higher at first years compared to other classes (especially at the 5th year) and they have more tendency to write.  Besides, female students were found to have higher writing tendencies, and it can also be suggested that writing tendency is closely related to the number of read books, the state of keeping or not keeping a diary or the state of liking or not liking to read.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Özet</strong></p><p>Bu çalışmanın amacı ortaokul öğrencilerinin yazma eğilimlerini çeşitli değişkenler açısından incelemektir.

Çalışmanın sonucu olarak, yazma eğilimi (güven, tutku ve süreklilik alt boyutlarında) ortaokul öğrencilerinin ilk yıllarında (özellikle beşinci sınıfta) diğer sınıflara göre daha yüksek olduğu, öğrencilerin yazmaya daha yatkın olduğu söylenebilir. Ayrıca kız öğrencilerin yine yazma eğilimlerinin daha yüksek odluğu; yazma eğiliminde okunan kitap sayısının, günlük tutmanın ve yazmayı sevmenin etkili olduğu araştırma sonucuna söylenebilir.</p>
