Boxing athletes must control their emotions and themselves, and regulate their aggressiveness to prevent harming themselves during matches. The purpose of this study was to show whether emotional maturity and self control affect the aggressiveness of boxing athletes. This type of research is correlational. The sample used is boxing athletes from the Special Region of Yogyakarta (n = 65, age 14-22 years) and the subjects have participated in boxing competitions. Sampling was done by nonprobability consecutive sampling. The emotional maturity scale is based on Singh and Bhargava, self control refers to Averill, aggression refers to Buss and Perry (1992). Data analysis was aided by ANOVA (F-test) and t-test. Results. Boxing athletes who will conduct games should receive support to conduct matches in a sporting manner to help athletes regulate their emotions and avoid aggression. For future researchers, it is hoped that they will be able to discuss more about the psychological aspects of boxing athletes, because this research is only limited to the influluence of emotional maturity and self control on aggressiveness in boxing athletes. © 2024, DJ Studio.
