- Abstract
Introduction: Anger is a reaction to goal-related obstacles. Moral anger assigns blame to a third-party for improper behavior or neglecting duties. It can also involve actively participating in actions to reduce disadvantages and showing responsibility to help disadvantaged individuals. Based on these ideas, this research explores how privileged individuals emotionally respond to the problems of disadvantaged groups. Method: In our study, an online survey form, created using Google forms and consisting of nine questions, was administered to Bezmialem Vakıf University Faculty of Medicine students. The questionnaire, scored from 9 to 45 points, gauges moral anger-lower scores (9) indicate less, while higher scores (45) indicate more. Results are presented in median (±) format. Results: The students of Bezmialem Vakıf University Faculty of Medicine were classified as basic science (1st-2nd-3rd year) and clinical science (4th-5th-6th year) students. According to this classification, scale sub-dimensions (emotional sub-dimension, cognitive sub-dimension) and total scale score averages were compared, and no statistically significant differences were found among them (p=0.473, p=0.823, p=0.554, respectively). Scale sub-dimensions (emotional sub-dimension, cognitive sub-dimension) and total scale score averages were compared by gender, and only a significant difference was found in the emotional sub-dimension (p=0.006). There was no significant difference in the cognitive sub-dimension (p=0.053) and total scale score (p=0.431) averages. The average emotional subscale score of females was found to be significantly higher than that of males. A statistically significant moderately negative relationship was found between emotional and cognitive subdimension scores (p<0.001, r=-0.416). Conclusion: No significant difference was found between the two categorical groups, but the emotional subdimension scale scores of females were significantly higher than those of males.
