The Baumrind parenting scale, the Social domination scale of Sidanus and Prato, the Akino and Reid social attention scale, and the Bass and Perry aggression scale was used to collect data. Structural equations were used to analyze the data and the Bootstrap command in AMOS was used to investigate the mediating role. The findings showed that Permissive parenting both direct and indirect effects by mediating the tendency to social domination and avoiding social domination on aggression.
