The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between self-esteem and anger coping strategies of college students. Methods/Statistical Analysis: The Rosenberg’s self-esteem scale and Anger Coping Inventory (ACI) were administered to all participants of 180 college students in Korea. The ACI consisted of 19 items and 5 strategies. Findings: There were significantly positive correlations between self-esteem and problem-solving, tension-releasing among anger coping strategies. No significant correlation was found between self-esteem and the other three kinds of anger coping strategies.
