The purpose of this research was to study the effect of the qur'an instruction on anger control in students. The method of research was a quasi-experimental method, with a pre-test and post-test design and experimental and control groups. The statistical population included all the girl students of high school at the Hamedan city. The research sample included 40 girl students selected through the available sampling method. They were selected from the Shahid Hajjeh Foroush high school, and randomly, 20 people were assigned to the control group and 20 people to the experimental group.
The experimental group received a training program regarding the effect of Quran on anger control, and the control group did not receive this training. Data were collected with using the Reza Khani's Anger control questionnaire. The results indicated that teaching of the Quran affected anger control in the students. Also, the results showed that teaching of the Quran was effective for the components of the intensity of anger, anger in personal relationships. and anger in social relationships (P <0.05). Therefore, the results of this study showed the effect of the Quran instruction on anger control in students. Thus, such an instruction could be used as a useful interventional method to reduce anger in students with an anger control problem.

The present study aims to investigate the mechanism of decision making process from the hot cognition perspective. The effect of anger, as an emotion (with cognitive profile),as well as cognitive styles (need for cognition, structure, and certainty), as a motivational parameter, on analytical decision making process were examined based on Klaczynski’s Dual-Process Model (2004). In this model, metacognitive dispositions are the mediators sitting between predictor variables and decision making. The Actively Open-Minded Thinking Scale was considered as an index of metacognitive dispositions. The research subjects included 233 female and male bachelor students of Shiraz University. The Need for Cognition (Cacioppo, et. al., 1996), the Need for Structure and the Need for Certainty (Thompson et. al., 1992), Anger (Lerner & Keltner, 2000), Cognitive Appraisal (Smith & Ellsworth, 1985), Actively Open-Minded Thinking (Stanovich & West, 2007) and Decision Making (Klaczynski, 2001) Scales were used. Validity and reliability of the scales were confirmed. The results indicated that anger predicted analytical decision making negatively and in direct and indirect (through open-minded thinking) ways. The need for cognition predicted decision-making positively. The need for structure predicted decision making negatively only through Open-Minded Thinking Variable. The need for certainty did not predict decision making. Cognitive appraisal of certainty and self-responsibility/control explained cognitive profile for anger.
