<p>Numerous studies have examined the association between parental psychological control and aggression, yet there remain considerable debate and inconsistent findings regarding whether these two factors are correlated. This study addresses this issue through a meta-analysis. By analyzing 52 retrieved studies (containing 65 effect sizes and 40,423 participants) using a random-effects model, we found a significant positive correlation between parental psychological control and aggression (<i>r</i> = 0.26). The strength of this correlation was moderated by age, measurement tools for parental psychological control and aggression, and study design, but not by gender, form of aggression, individualism index, or sampling year. The findings suggest that parents should reduce psychological control over their children, particularly adolescents, to foster greater autonomy and thereby mitigate aggressive behaviors.</p>
