The population of interest comprised all high school students residing in Isfahan, Iran. From this demographic, a sample of 320 students was extracted through a multi-stage cluster sampling methodology. The instruments employed in the research encompassed the Parent-Child Conflict Questionnaire, the Parental Conflict Scale, the Electronic Media Use Questionnaire, the Emotional Security Scale, the Children&#39;s Depression Inventory, the Internalizing Problems Questionnaire, and the Aggression Questionnaire. The proposed model underwent evaluation via structural equation modeling, leveraging the capabilities of SPSS and AMOS version 23 software.<br> <b>Results</b>: The findings revealed a direct influence of parental conflict and electronic media utilization on parent-child conflict, as well as a direct correlation of parent-child conflict with emotional security, depressive symptoms, internalizing issues, and aggression; furthermore, emotional security was found to have a direct impact on depressive symptoms, internalizing issues, and aggression. Additionally, the results indicated that parent-child conflict exerts an indirect influence on depressive symptoms, internalizing issues, and aggression through the mediating role of emotional security.<br> <b>Conclusions</b>: Consequently, the enhancement of parental relationships coupled with the regulation of adolescents&#39; electronic media consumption has the potential to mitigate parent-child conflict; in turn, such a reduction in parent-child conflict may lead to a decrease in depressive symptoms, internalizing issues, and aggression among adolescents.</span></span></span></span></div> Parent-child conflict, Parental conflict, Electronic-media use, Emotional security, Depression symptoms, Internalizing problems, Aggression 243 266 http://ieepj.hormozgan.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-621-2&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Samanh Najarpourian s.najarpourian@yahoo.com 100319475328460010440 100319475328460010440 Yes Associate Professor of Counseling Department, University of Hormozgan, Bandar Abbas, Iran Fatemeh Bagherihoseinababdi fbagheri9977@gmail.com 100319475328460010441 100319475328460010441 No Ph.D. Student in Counseling, Department of Counseling, University of Hormozgan, Bandar Abbas, Iran.
