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.

The purpose of this study was to determine the role of emotion regulation as a mediator between self-esteem and aggressive behavior tendencies in SMPN A students in Yogyakarta. In this study, emotion regulation is considered necessary in mediating the relationship between self-esteem and aggressive behavior tendencies. This study uses a quantitative survey method. The research subjects were students in grades 8 and 9, totaling 155 students of SMPN A in Yogyakarta and collecting data using a psychological scale measuring instrument.
