The groups in the pretest and posttest stages answered to the questionnaires of Novaco anger (1986) and Cattell anxiety (1975) and the data were analyzed by independent t and multivariate analysis of covariance in SPSS version 22 software. The results showed that both methods of hope therapy and cognitive behavioral psychotherapy led to reduced anxiety and anger of adolescents (p < 0.05). The hope therapy compared to the cognitive behavioral psychotherapy was more effective in reducing anxiety (p < 0.05), but between them there was no observed significant difference in reducing anger (P>0.05).
