The present research was conducted to investigate the parent-child conflicts and level of aggression in secondary school children. It was hypothesized that there was a positive relationship between parent-child conflict and aggression level. Through convenient sampling strategy, a sample of (N = 100) including (n = 50 girls, n = 50 boys) students was collected from public sectors schools of Lahore. Family Conflict Scale (Richard, 2000) and Aggression Scale (Mathur & Bhatnagar, 2004) were used to assess the problem while Pearson Product-Moment Correlation and independent sample t-test were employed to generate results which showed the significant positive correlation between parent-child conflict and negative form of aggression. Findings of the research can help in understanding and awareness of parent-child conflict and aggression among school students. Also, it will help teachers, authorities and educational institution in reducing the adverse effects of parent-child conflict on student’s aggressive behavior.
