Abstract	This study examined the factors contributing to the self-reported use of social and overt aggression among 745 10-14-year-old European American and Latino adolescents. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses showed that dispositional social evaluative anxiety was uniquely positively associated with boys' and girls' social aggression and negatively associated with boys' overt aggression. Maternal psychological control was positively associated with overt aggression for all boys, but with social aggression only for Latino boys. Although maternal psychological control also was associated with girls' use of overt aggression, this effect was stronger among older than among younger females. The relationship between maternal psychological control and girls' social aggression was mediated by social evaluative anxiety. Implications for elevated levels of social evaluative anxiety are discussed within a social cognitive theory perspective and for maternal psychological control within a social learning theory perspective.
