description Introduction. In geriatrics, cognitive flexibility, which is known to be effective in individuals’ being patient with events, is the ability to activate one’s cognition in the face of sudden unexpected situations by processing. Being cognitively positive or negative affects geriatric individuals’ cognitive flexibility levels. It is important to examine the anger levels of geriatric individuals in the evaluation of their cognitive flexibility. Aim. This study aims to examine the relationship between cognitive flexibility and anger in geriatric individuals. Material and Methods. The current study was held in a Nursing Home in Central Turkey. The purposive sampling method was used in sample selection. The present research is designed as a descriptive study. Results. There are statistically significant and negative correlations between the CFS and State-Anger, Anger/In, and Anger/Out. Furthermore, there is a statistically significant and positive correlation between the CFS and Anger/Control. Conclusions. It is seen that the daily forgetfulness level and the mean scores of Anger/In and Anger/Out, which are state-anger and trait-anger styles, increased, while the mean scores of Anger/Control and Cognitive Flexibility decreased.
