Abstract
Adolescence is a crucial developmental stage characterized by emotional, cognitive, and behavioral changes that are significantly influenced by family dynamics. This study examines the correlation between family environment and its impact on aggressive behavior and mental health among adolescents. The research explores key family factors such as parental warmth, conflict, support, and disciplinary practices to understand their role in shaping adolescent behavior and psychological well-being. A correlational research design is employed, utilizing standardized questionnaires to assess family environment, aggression, and mental health among a diverse sample of adolescents aged 12–18. The findings are expected to reveal significant associations between negative family environments (e.g., high conflict, lack of support) and increased aggression and mental health issues, such as stress, anxiety, and depression. Conversely, a positive family atmosphere with emotional support and open communication is anticipated to act as a protective factor against aggression and psychological distress. The study’s outcomes will contribute to a deeper understanding of the role of family dynamics in adolescent development and provide insights for interventions aimed at promoting healthier family relationships and improving adolescent mental health.
