A Study on the Comparison of Kyrgyz and Turkish University Students in Terms of Anger Expression Styles, Humor and Obedience

The aim of this study is to compare Kyrgyz and Turkish students in terms of styles of anger, anger expression, humor, and obedience. The scales for anger expression styles, humor styles, and obedience were applied to 206 Kyrgyz and 197 Turkish students. The greatest differences were found in obedience. Turkish students' continuous anger and anger control scores were significantly higher than those of Kyrgyz students. Although no difference was found in progressive humor, there are significant differences between students from two countries in participatory, offensive, and self-annihilatory humor styles. The findings obtained in the study are compared with the findings of other studies of aggression, humor, and obedience in different cultures and suggestions were made.
