description | (1) Background: Child aggression is not easily reduced as children grow up, and it is a serious problem that can develop into a life of crime if left unaddressed. (2) Methods: This study was conducted among elementary school children and their parents in C and K provinces and D city. Data were collected through a survey. Pearson’s correlation coefficient was used to analyze parental hostility and each child’s self-control and aggression. (3) Results: Child aggression had a significant negative correlation with self-control and a significant positive correlation with parental hostility. In particular, there was a significant positive correlation between physical aggression and revenge, which are sub-factors of parental hostility. In addition, the children’s self-control was significantly negatively correlated with parental hostility. (4) Conclusions: Since there is a positive correlation between children’s aggression and self-control, it is necessary to develop strategies to improve self-control when seeking intervention measures for children’s aggression. In addition, since there is a significant quantitative correlation between children’s aggression and parental hostility, it is necessary to deal with parental hostility in order to control children’s aggression. Since there is a significant negative correlation between parental hostility and children’s self-control, it is necessary to emphasize the importance of parental attitudes and behaviors to improve children’s self-control. |
