TY - JOUR PY - 2017// TI - Parenting processes, self-esteem, and aggression: a mediation model JO - European journal of developmental psychology A1 - Ozdemir, Yalçın A1 - Vazsonyi, Alexander T. A1 - Cok, Figen SP - 509 EP - 532 VL - 14 IS - 5 N2 - The present study examined the relations between perceived maternal and paternal parenting processes and adolescent aggression, and to what extent these relations were mediated by self-esteem in a sample of 546 (43.8% males and 56.2% females) Turkish adolescents. Participants' ages ranged from 14 to 18 with a mean of 15.91 years (SD =.95).

FINDINGS supported our hypothesized model of the effect of perceived parenting processes on aggression as being mediated through self-esteem for both maternal and paternal parenting measures. Specifically, self-esteem mediated the relations between parental closeness, monitoring, peer approval and adolescent aggression. Self-esteem is an important individual charecteristic to consider for prevention efforts of adolescent aggressive behaviors, along with key parenting behaviors.
