Abstract
Aggression is an inner tendency and part of human behavior that the child needs to learn to control it. Toys are the most important product to learn children. The number of the toys with this purpose which exist in the Iranian market is not very large, but many of them are used as training aids. However, no evaluation has been done so far on the effectiveness and efficiency of these products. The purpose of this applied research is to evaluate the efficiency of these toys. In this study, a sample size of 414 children was randomly surveyed. The instrument for measuring anger in children was the Nelson Questionnaire and then the conditions for anger and the method of its expression was done through another questionnaire. According to the obtained characteristics, available toys in the market were studied. The results showed that while the relevant toys need to cover the relaxation phase through attractive characterization, they are either learning-oriented that do not appeal to the child, or are used in the pre-anger phase, or are designed for children with attention deficit disorder that do not have the expected effectiveness.
