A components analysis of a cognitive-behavioral anger management program was conducted with mentally retarded adults attending vocational training programs. Self-control training was given in one of four groups: relaxation training, self-instruction, problem solving, or a combined anger management condition. The dependent measures included self-reports, ratings of videotaped roleplays, and supervisor ratings. The results revealed decreases in aggressive responding over time and no significant between-group differences. The study suggests that anger management training with groups of mentally retarded adults may be effective.
