The aim of the presented research was to determine whether there were connections between the dimensions of family functioning (cohesion, communication, autonomy – control, identity), behaviors of parents and the psychological syndrome of adolescent aggression (PSA). 135 adolescents, aged 16–18, were asked to complete The Family Relations Questionnaire (KRR) by Plopa and Połomski, and The Psychological Inventory of Aggression Syndrome (IPSA) by Gaś. This study has shown (1) no differences between boys and girls in the general level of PSA, (2) gender differences in the intensity of particular aggressiveness/aggression dimensions, (3) a relationship between the dimensions of family functioning and the PSA of adolescents, (4) a link between the parents` behavior in the relationship and the dimensions of the adolescents’ PSA, determined by the gender of the child and the parent.
