Abstract: Many cases of violence occur in schools in Yogyakarta. Many of these cases of violence involve students in the same school. Aggressiveness is a form of violence committed by teenagers in schools, disturbing the community. From previous studies on aggressive behavior tendencies, emotion regulation can be used as a mediator variable in aggressive behavior research.
