Abstract
Children’s aggression has been recognized as a social problem, and the need for its countermeasures is increasing. Based on previous studies, it is assumed that a negative parenting style can lead to aggression and that self-esteem, the relationships with friends and teachers, could mediate the pathway. Negative parenting is defined as rejecting, coercive, and chaotic parenting in this study. The responses of 2,607 4th grade children (49.6% female), extracted from the 2018 Child⋅Adolescent Panel Survey, were used. Negative parenting was positively associated with aggression, and it showed a negative relationship with self-esteem. The higher the self-esteem, the better the relationship with friends or teachers. Furthermore, the relationship with friends or teachers presented a negative association with aggression retrospectively. Self-esteem did not mediate the pathway. However, it was found that negative parenting led to aggression through self-esteem and relationships with friends or through self-esteem and relationships with teachers. Practical measures to intervene in children’s aggression were discussed based on the findings.
