Aggressive perpetration and victimization are a salient problem among Polish adolescents. Based on the general theory of crime, this study explored the associations between attachment to parents and self-control with perpetration and victimization among Polish adolescents ( N = 355, 146 boys and 209 girls). Results showed that (a) secure attachment to father related to less perpetration and victimization among boys and girls, whereas secure attachment to mother associated with less perpetration and victimization among girls; (b) secure attachment to father was related to better self-control for boys and girls; and (c) self-control related to reduced victimization and mediated the “attachment to father—victimization” association among girls. These findings suggest that generalizability of the general theory of crime in Polish adolescents is limited.

A total of 39 children, classified in Ainsworth's Strange Situation at 12 and 18 months of age with their mothers and fathers, were observed in play groups and given a cartoon-based social perception test at 5 years of age. Children with anxious attachment histories (primarily avoidant in this sample) differed from those with secure histories on a number of single variables, and behavioural profiles based on combinations of variables showed strong significant differences in quality of play, conflict resolution, and problem behaviours. Measures of play competence, conflict resolution, and behaviour problems were significantly related to infant-mother attachment for girls, but not for boys. Overall competence, however, was significantly related to attachment to the mother for both boys and girls. Children with anxious attachment histories also showed misperceptions of cartoon stimuli, more often perceiving negative intentions than children with secure histories. Between-group differences were notably stronger using classifications with mothers than classifications with fathers. However, effects based on combined attachment information with both mother and father were more powerful for some variables.

Attachment status in early childhood is a key yet modifiable contributor to the development of social–emotional competence. The security and organization of the infant–mother attachment bond is particularly susceptible to stressors in the caregiving environment. While the impacts of normative interparental conflict on infant attachment are increasingly understood, the potentially unique place of intimate partner violence (IPV) in this pathway has been under-researched. This study surveyed all empirical work in this area, including unpublished literature ( k = 6, N = 3,394), to examine meta-analytic associations between maternal experiences of IPV and offspring attachment security (ages 1–5 years) measured at least 6 months post-IPV exposure. Mothers’ reports of IPV from pregnancy onward were inversely associated with offspring attachment security, r = −.23, CI [−0.42, −0.04], p = .02. Sample risk characteristics (e.g., clinical vs. community) moderated this association; child’s age at attachment measurement and method of assessing child attachment (e.g., observational, representational, parent report) also moderated at a trend level. Implications for early screening, intervention, and future research are discussed.

AbstractThis study investigated the relationship between attachment, mood and deliberate self-harm (DSH) in a nonclinical population (n= 114). In addition to a range of risky behaviours, the most commonly reported DSH behaviours wereHead-banging(47%),Hitting(46%),Scratching(38%) andCutting(34%). Those who engaged in DSH had poorer quality of attachment to both parents but not peers, and higher levels of depression, anxiety and stress. Path analysis was then used to examine the interaction between attachment, mood and DSH. The impact of the quality of attachment on DSH was found to be mediated by stress, which suggests that DSH may be a maladaptive coping mechanism. Attachment to father and peers was found to be more influential than attachment to mother. Our findings suggest that DSH may be more prevalent in the community than previously recognised, and that attachment, which is currently neglected in DSH research, warrants further investigation in both clinical and nonclinical populations.

The aim of the study was to investigate the link between the characteristics of close interpersonal relationships of adolescents in the family and with peers and the preferred mechanisms of moral self-justification. The data consists of 411 adolescences aged from 15 to 17 (Me=15,7; SD=0,7), 278 (67,6%) are men and 133 (32,4%) are women. 3 questionnaires were used: the adapted in Russian moral disengagement questionnaire by C. Moore, the questionnaire of attachment to mother in adolescence. By M. Yaremchuk, the questionnaire of attachment to parents and peers (the form about peers attachment) by G. Armsden and M. Greenberg). Results allowed to define preferred moral disengagement mechanisms. Three strategies of moral freedom were defined: active users, passive users and strategy focused on distortion of victim image. Identified moral freedom strategies are linked with the attachment to the mother and close relations with peers. Adolescents with secure mother attachment and trust, success in communication with peers are less active use moral disengagement mechanisms. Rejection, low trust level and low success in communication correlates with active use of moral disengagement mechanisms.

The purpose of this study was to find out whether there was a role of secure attachment to father and mother towards self-adjustment. The subjects in this study were 60 people, which were selected using a cluster random sampling technique. Data were collected using psychological scales including a scale of secure attachment to father, a scale of secure attachment to mother and a scale of self-adjustment. These scales used Likert-Scale model and data were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis. The results showed that: (1) there was a role of secure attachment to mother towards self-adjustment in female students as indicated by the value of t count > t table (2.319 > 2.002); (2) there was a role of secure attachment to father towards self-adjustment in female students as indicated by the value of t count > t table (2.319 > 2.002); (3) there was no difference between the secure attachment to father and the secure attachment to mother towards the self-adjustment in female students as indicated by F count > F table (7.330 > 3.159). Based on these results, it can be seen that the effective contribution of the secure attachment to father and mother towards the self-adjustment was 20.5%, while the remaining 79.5% was contributed by other factors.
