“…Both maternal and paternal verbal and physical aggression were significantly related to daughters' aggression at home and with peers (Bjorkqvist & Osterman, 1992). Negative communication styles by parents (Heaven, 1994; Pakaslahti, Spoof, Asplund-Peltola, & Keltikngas-Jarvinen, 1998), parental rejection (Viemero, 1996), or low parental support (Saner & Ellickson, 1996) were also related to adolescent girls' aggression.
