The aim of the current research is to identify the relationship between anger and academic introversion among university students. The researchers used the descriptive, exploratory, and correlational approach to achieve the research objectives. The research population consisted of four colleges at Diyala University for the academic year (2025-2026), two of which were scientific and two humanities, totaling (6704) male and female students. The researchers selected (100) male and female students from them. The researchers also used Hamza’s (2012) scale to measure anger and Eysenck’s (1964) scale to measure introversion. The research results showed that university students suffer from a high level of anger, with males differing from females, as males are angrier. The results also showed that university students have a high level of introversion, with females being more introverted than males. There is also a direct correlation between anger and the level of academic introversion among university students.
