Background: Adolescence is the development phase of the transition from child to adulthood. Harsh maternal parenting, demands for a lot of attention, and acts of omission are thought to be predictors of aggressive behavior. This study aims to analyze the relationship between maternal parenting with the aggressive behavior of adolescent boys in risk environments. Methods: This was an observational-analytic study with a cross-sectional design of 127 junior high school boys in the area at risk of total sampling. The research instrument used the Parenting Authority Questionnaire (PAQ) and the Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire (BPAQ). Results: The average total value of potential aggressive behavior was 80.6±9.1. Mother’s parenting had a significant correlation with the dimension of anger (p = 0.024). However, no significant correlation was found between maternal parenting and total behavioral potential (p = 0.071), maternal parenting and physical aggression (p = 0.191), verbal aggression (p = 0.400), and hostility (p = 0.321). Conclusion: Maternal parenting is related to the anger dimension in aggressive adolescent behavior.
