The purpose of this study was to examine moderating effects of adolescents’ self-control and maladaptive emotion regulation in the relationship between maternal psychological control and adolescents' reactive and proactive aggression. The participants of this study were 458 students of two middle schools in Daegu. The results of this study showed that maternal psychological control, self-control and maladaptive emotion regulation were significant predictors of reactive and proactive aggression among adolescents. Moreover, maladaptive emotion regulation played a moderating role in the relationship between maternal psychological control and reactive aggression. On the contrary, we found no moderating effects of self-control and maladaptive emotion regulation in the relationship between maternal psychological control and proactive aggression. The implication of research and practice are discussed.
