The study aims at Forming an Anger Management Scale among High School Female Students that suits the Iraqi local environment, as well as measuring the ability of high school female students in anger management. The researcher has formed the scale relying on the behavioral-cognitive theoretical frame presented by Raymond Novaco which defines anger management as "a structured treatment to foster self-regulation of anger and aggressive behavior". Novaco specified three principal forms of anger; cognitive, physiological and behavioral. The researcher has set (34) items that are covering most of anger stimulating situations among high school female students and measure their ability in anger management according to the three above mentioned levels. Then, she exposed the scale to a number of (15) referees and specialists in the fields of psychological guidance and educational counseling, experimental psychology and measurement and evaluation in order to have their views and notes concerning the validity of the scale. Furthermore, sample of the study comprises (600) high school students in Baquba city center/ Diyala Province in the academic year 2014-2015. The anger management scale is applied on them after finding out the arithmetic mean, criteria variations and the T-tests scores in all fields of the scale. The scale's validity is verified via using the SPSS, as Khi square value is (K2 =zero) on a significance level of (0.05). While the scale consistency is verified through the use of the test and retest methods and Alpha-Chronbach's equation, as the scale's stability coefficient is (0.87) which is signifying the soundness of applying the scale on high school female students in the Iraqi local environment.
