<![CDATA[Aggressive behavior among junior high school students is a critical issue that negatively impacts students' social-emotional development and the learning environment at school. This article critically examines the relationship between parenting styles and adolescent aggressive behavior, highlighting the role of self-control as a mediating variable.

In contrast, authoritative parenting tends to protect children from deviant behavior.

These findings underscore the significance of self-control as a mediator between parenting and aggressive behavioral responses in adolescents.]]>
