The article studies the role of anger management in parent-adolescent conflict. In the present study it was assumed that a number of factors contribute to the development and maintenance of parent-adolescent conflict and that treatment of the affective, cognitive, and behavioral components of conflict would be more effective than treatment that addresses the behavioral component alone. Conflict management skills were conceptualized as self-control skills that either the parent or adolescent could use individually before or during a conflict situation to reduce stress and avoid escalating conflict. The hypothesis that conflict management would enhance the effectiveness of conflict resolution alone was partially supported by the between group differences on the behavioral observation measure. Although the primary purpose of this investigation was to evaluate whether conflict management training added to the effectiveness of conflict resolution training, a secondary purpose was to increase knowledge about small group treatment for reducing parent-adolescent conflict. In the current study, parent-adolescent dyads in both treatment conditions consistently showed both acquisition of communication and problems solving skills and a decrease in conflict at home.
