The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships among control parenting, early adolescents' ego-resiliency and peer attachment. The subjects were 2,346 1st-year middle school students from all over the country. Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey(2010) data were analyzed by means of Pearson's correlation, hierarchical regression, and by the use of SPSS 19.0. The results of our study are as follows. First, parents' control parenting operated as a major determining factor with the effect that peer attachment decreased as parents' control parenting levels increased. Second, early adolescents' ego-resiliency operated as a major determining factor with the effect that peer attachment increased as adolescents' ego-resiliency levels increased. Finally, the interaction effects of parents' control parenting and early adolescents' ego-resiliency on peer attachment were observed.
