The Role of Self-Control in Mediating the Relationship Between Emotional Maturity and Aggression Stimulus on Aggressive Behavior in Brimob Personnel Serving in Region X

Aggressive behavior among police officers, particularly Mobile Brigade (Brimob) personnel, is a crucial issue because it directly relates to professionalism, the use of force, and public trust. This study aims to examine the role of self-control as a mediating variable in the relationship between emotional maturity and aggression stimulus on aggressive behavior among Brimob personnel serving in region X. The study employed a quantitative approach with an explanatory design. Data were collected from Brimob personnel using standardized instruments that measure emotional maturity, aggression stimulus, self-control, and aggressive behavior. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to examine the direct and indirect effects between variables. The results showed that emotional maturity was negatively related to aggressive behavior, while aggression stimulus was positively related to aggressive behavior. These results confirm that self-control is an important psychological mechanism that can mitigate the impact of situational pressure and emotional maturity on aggressive tendencies. This study provides theoretical contributions to the development of the General Aggression Model as well as practical implications for the development of training programs for managing emotions and strengthening self-control for police personnel.
