Objective: Emotion dysregulation, negative affects, and aggression can affect each other. This study aimed to demonstrate the role of the negative effects and emotion dysregulation in aggressio.
Methods: The statistical population was Kharazmi University students that 280 of them were selected by random multiphasic sampling method. The study instruments were Buss-Perry aggression questionnaire, the short form of cognitive emotion regulation questionnaire and positive affect and negative affect scale. The Pearson correlation, Student t test, and hierarchical regression tests were used to analyse the data.
Results: Gender, negative affect and maladaptive emotion regulation strategies (rumination, catastrophizing, and others blaming) were correlated with aggression. After controlling for gender and negative affect, maladaptive emotion regulation explained only 0.029% of the aggression variance and in this case and negative affect could explain 11.4% of its variance. Furthermore, by controlling for gender and negative affect, others blaming and catastrophizing strategies could explain 0.077% of the aggression variance.
Conclusion: This study demonstrates the more important role of negative affect in predicting aggression. It seems that efficient methods to improve mood state can be helpful in aggression reduction.

The study instruments were Buss-Perry aggression questionnaire, the short form of cognitive emotion regulation questionnaire and positive affect and negative affect scale.
Results: Gender, negative affect and maladaptive emotion regulation strategies (rumination, catastrophizing, and others blaming) were correlated with aggression.
Therefore, this study conducted to demonstrate the role of negative affect and emotion dysregulation in aggression.
The study instruments were Buss-Perry aggression question-naire, the short form of cognitive emotion regulation questionnaire, and positive and negative affect scale.
Gender, negative affect and maladaptive emotion regulation strategies (rumination, catastrophizing, and others blaming) had significant correlation with aggression.
Studies reported that emotion regulation can mediate the relationship between negative affect and aggression (Ro-berton, Daffern, & Bucks, 2012).
Moreover, some studies concluded that maladaptive emotion regulation leads to aggression through the increased experience of negative affect (Roberton et al.

Moreover, after controlling gender and negative affect in the first step, 2 maladaptive emotion regulation strategies (others-blame and catastrophiz-ing) showed significant relationship with aggression.
