The present research aimed to study the relationship between Family environment and Anger among adolescents. A sample of 300 adolescents, studying in class X to XII , C.B.S.E. board schools from Ghaziabad was taken. Family Environment Scale (Bhatia & Chadha, 2015) and CMI Health Questionnaire (Wig, Pershad, & Verma, 2002) were used to measure Family Environment and Anger respectively. Correlation and Multiple regression were used to analyze the data. Results suggest an inverse relationship between family environment and Anger in terms of, cohesion, expressiveness, acceptance and caring, independence, active-recreational orientation, organization and control, leaving out Conflict which was positively correlated to Anger. Further, Expressiveness, Conflict, Organization, Independence, and Cohesion come up as predictors of Anger among adolescents.
