Adolescents who are not yet able to control their physical and psychological functions tend to experience emotional instability that triggers aggressiveness. Socioeconomically disadvantaged family conditions can further reinforce this tendency as a form of emotional release or a defense mechanism. This study aims to analyze the influence of self-control and peer conformity on aggression among underprivileged adolescents. This quantitative study involved 77 students from grade 10 and grade 11 at Sekolah Master Depok using a convenience sampling technique. The results show that the majority of respondents have low levels of self-control and peer conformity, and a moderate level of aggression. Correlation test results indicate that gender is positively related to peer conformity and aggression, self-control is negatively related to aggression, and peer conformity is positively related to aggression. Regression results show that gender and peer conformity have a significant positive effect on aggression. Meanwhile, father’s age, father’s years of education, and self-control have a significant negative effect on aggression. These findings emphasize that strengthening self-control and fostering a positive peer environment can be important strategies in reducing aggressive behavior among underprivileged adolescents.
