Aim. The aim of the research was to search for a family etiology of aggressive strategies for coping with a social conflict situation by adolescents, which are inherent in the aggressive model of their parents’ responses to a social conflict situation. Methods. Danuta Borecka-Biernat’s Questionnaire on parents’ strategies for coping with a social conflict situation (KSRwSK) and Borecka-Biernat’s Questionnaire on studying strategies for coping with a social conflict situation by adolescents (KSMK) were applied in our research. Empirical studies were conducted in junior high schools. They covered 893 adolescents (468 girls and 425 boys) aged 13-15 years. Results. The analysis of the research material showed that the mother and father are perceived as those who use an aggressive strategy in situations which hinder the achievement of goals and contribute to the modelling of a strategy of aggressive behaviour in children, which is used by them in a social conflict situation.
