It is to have information about which metacognitive beliefs plays a role in the emergence of anger and aggression in people with alcohol dependence.Method: The patient group diagnosed with Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) according to DSM-5 (n = 72) and the control group without any psychiatric diagnosis (n = 71) were included in the study. Sociodemographic data form, Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT), Metacognition Questionnaire (MCQ-30), Trait Anger and Anger Expression Scale (STAXI) and Buss-Perry's Aggression Questionnaire (AQ) were used.Results: In the AUD group, the MCQ-30 total, STAXI trait anger, anger out and anger in, and AQ total scores were found to be significantly higher than the control group (p<0,001, p<0,001, p=0,001, p=0,001 and p<0,001, respectively). When comparing the correlation coefficients of MCQ-30 and other scales between the groups, a difference was found between the AUD group, trait anger and physical aggression (z=2,035; p=0,042 and z=2,120; p=0,034, respectively). As a result of the regression analysis performed in our study, it was found that the need to control thoughts is the most metacognitive beliefs that predicts aggression in people with AUD(beta=0.567,t(66)= 4,034, p<0.001,pr2=0.20).Conclusion: Metacognitive beliefs are highly affected in people with AUD and they cause more anger and aggression.
