A total number of 370 participants took part in the study. Participants selected were students of Bachelor’s, Master’s and Doctoral level while the mean age of students was 21 years. State Trait Anger Expression Inventory was used to measure the construct of anger, Religious Activity Scale and Spiritual Support Scale were used to measure Religiosity and Spirituality respectively and LFT Inventory was used to assess low frustration tolerance.
