Summary/Abstract: The educational level of parents has been observed to have multiple influences on children. In this research we investigate a the differences in the levels of aggression in preadolescents depending on the educational level achieved by parents. The sample consisted of 219 children, 7th and 8th grade, and 438 their parents with 3 levels of parental education (primary, secondary and higher). The results of the ANOVA analysis revealed statistically significant differences for children whose parents have a basic education (primary or secondary), manifesting higher levels of aggression on all dimensions tested (physical aggression, verbal aggression, anger and hostility). Such differences in the means of aggression in preadolescents whose parents have secondary and higher education levels were not observed.
