Anger is one of the problems of scientific importance that psychologists and education scientists are interested in, especially societies and educational environments, because if a child’s anger continues to develop into violence, then it becomes an unusual behavior and an indication of the child's lack of adaptation to his family and his environment (Moses, 2013: 4). The outward expression of anger can be found in facial expressions, body language, physiological responses, and sometimes in public acts of human aggression or from wild animals (Desmond, 1967: 34). The current research aims at measuring anger among kindergarten children. In order to achieve the aim of the research, the researcher developed an anger scale to measure anger in kindergarten children. It consists of three areas: the first area is the subjective emotional aspect, which stretches from the item (1) to item (11). The second area is the physiological aspect that includes items (12) to (19). The third area is the apparent and external aspect that includes items (20) to (31). The total number of the anger scale in all its areas is (31) items, which were answered by the teacher. The scale was presented to a group of (18 experts) from different fields such as educational and psychological sciences, measurement and evaluation, kindergartens, and fine arts to demonstrate the validity of the measure items and their reliability for children. The researcher has extracted the apparent validity of the scale. The researcher extracted a number of psychometric properties of the scale by using the T-test for two independent samples (T-test), the Pearson correlation coefficient, the Chi-square test, and the Kolmogorov - Smirnov. As for the stability, it was extracted by the retest method (0.95) and stability Alpha Cronbach of (0.97). The research found that kindergarten children suffer from a state of anger. Based on these results, the researcher reached a number of appropriate recommendations and suggestions. (Published abstract)
