The aim of this study was to investigate the social cognitive predispositions of aggression in the form of a causal model. The research project was correlational and structural equations. The statistical population of the study consisted of all second grade male high school students in Yasuj in the academic year 1397-98,that 245 of whom were selected by random sampling of multi-stage clusters. The Baumrind parenting scale, the Social domination scale of Sidanus and Prato, the Akino and Reid social attention scale, and the Bass and Perry aggression scale was used to collect data. Structural equations were used to analyze the data and the Bootstrap command in AMOS was used to investigate the mediating role. The findings showed that Permissive parenting both direct and indirect effects by mediating the tendency to social domination and avoiding social domination on aggression. Authoritarian parenting also had an indirect effect by mediating the tendency to social domination and avoiding social domination on aggression. Authoritative parenting also had an indirect effect by mediating the avoidance of social domination and social attention on aggression.
