This research aims to understand the effects of juveniles' autonomous after school physical activities on their anger expression modes. To do that, a questionnaire survey was conducted of 368 high school students in K city and B city, Gyeyonggi Province, Korea. Of the students, 208 responded that they participated in autonomous after school physical activities. The responses were analyzed with State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory (STAXI-K) and applied with such statistical techniques as t-test based on SPSS 12.0 Window Program, One-way ANOVA, post-hoc test based on Scheffe' Method, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis. The following are the findings of this research. First, male students could regulate their anger more efficiently when participating in extracurricular autonomous physical activities than females. Second, the participants in extracurricular autonomous physical activities could find more vents for their anger and less factors to hold their anger than non-participants. Third, there was a significant difference in their regulating, expressing and suppressing their anger, depending upon the frequency of the students' participating in autonomous after school physical activities. However, there was not a significant difference depending upon the time of the students' participation. In contrast, there was a significant difference in regulating their anger depending upon the period of the students' participating. Finally, it is also significant that the students' participation in autonomous after school physical activities had a static effect on their anger expression modes. The above-mentioned results show that students' participation in autonomous after school physical activities has a positive effect on their anger expression modes and that their autonomous physical activities need be reflected on the programs for rehabilitating and/or counseling juveniles so that they may be adequately advised to attend regular or irregular physical exercises as much as time permits.
