The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between personality traits and parenting styles in aged children. The research method was descriptive correlational. The statistical population of this study was all female and male students in the school year of 2012-2013. The sample consisted of 200 students from Tehran who were selected by cluster sampling. The research instruments were Neo-Personality Inventory (NEO-ffi-60), McCrae and Costa (1987), Bummind's Childbirth Practice Questionnaire (1972) and Bass and Perry's (1992) Aggression Questionnaire. Pearson correlation coefficient and multivariate regression using hierarchical approach were used to analyze the data. The results indicated that positive parenting style and child-friendly styles predict negative aggression among primary school children. Also, among the characteristics of the mothers' personalities, the neuroticism is positive and extroversion and negative agreement predicts the aggression of primary school children.
