The purpose of present research study is to determine if five factor personality traits significantly predict trait anger and anger expression styles. A total number of 580 students (313 girls and 267 boys) participated in the study. Adjective Based Personality Test and State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory scales were employed for the study. According to the findings of the study, it was seen that five factor personality traits (neuroticism, extraversion, openness to experiences, agreeableness and conscientiousness) as a whole, significantly predict trait anger and anger expression styles (anger-in, anger-out and anger control).
