Abstract
This study explores the relationship between conformity, emotional regulation, and aggressive behavior among high school and vocational high school students in Surabaya. Conformity is understood as an individual’s ability to adapt to group norms, while emotional regulation refers to the capacity to manage emotional responses in various situations. The primary focus of this study is aggressive behavior, including physical aggression, verbal aggression, anger, and hostility. This study employs a quantitative approach with a correlational design and involves 263 respondents selected using snowball sampling. The research instrument consisted of a questionnaire measuring aggressive behavior, emotional regulation, and conformity. The results of the analysis indicate that emotional regulation acts as a mediator in the relationship between conformity and aggressive behavior. Students with high levels of conformity tend to experience a decline in their emotional regulation ability, which subsequently triggers aggressive behavior. The normative and informational influences of conformity were also found to contribute significantly to students’ emotional dynamics and aggression. This study emphasizes the importance of developing emotional regulation to help students cope with social pressure, thereby minimizing aggressive behavior. These findings provide practical insights for educators and school administrators in designing programs to support emotional regulation and the formation of positive social norms within the educational environment.
