Abstract
The present study aims to examine the relations between emotion regulation, aggression and school adjustment of boys and girls. A total of 321 5th-6th grades students were selected for the study. The data was collected via questionnaires. As results, there were some significant differences between boys and girls in overt aggression and peer adjustment. It was also found that emotion regulation, aggression and school adjustment were significantly correlated. And school adjustment was influenced by emotion regulation as well as overt and relational aggressions. Finally, only for boys, the relations between children`s emotion regulation and school adjustment were mediated by their aggression.
