Introduction:
The aim of this study was to investigate the mediating role of self-regulation skills in the relationship between working memory and aggression tendencies in preschool children.
Methods:
The study employed a correlational survey design. The sample consisted of 118 children aged five years. The data were collected utilising the Personal Information Form, Self-Regulation Scale, Memory Battery for Preschool Children, and Aggression Tendency Scale. To determine the mediating effect in the proposed mode, Pearson correlation and regression analysis based on the bootstrap method were employed.
Results:
The findings showed that working memory was a positive predictor of self-regulation skills and a negative predictor of aggression tendency. Self-regulation skills negatively predicted aggression tendencies. Additionally, selfregulation skills were identified as a mediating factor in the relationship between working memory and aggression tendency.
Conclusion:
The findings indicate that self-regulation skills are an influential factor in explaining the relationship between working memory and aggression tendencies in preschool children.

Long-Term Memory
Long-term memory can be categorized into two primary types: explicit and implicit memory. Explicit memory, also known as declarative memory, involves the conscious recollection of information that we deliberately try to remember, recall, and articulate. This type of memory encompasses specific facts, events, and...

Central Tendency: Analysis
The mean is one such measure, calculated by totaling all values in a dataset and dividing by the number of values. For instance, the mean blood pressure reading (120, 130, 140, 150) would be 135. However, the mean can be affected by extreme values or outliers.
The median, another measure,...
