Journal Title: Studies in Social Sciences and Humanities - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
This study aimed to examine the relationship between mother attachment and the antisocial behavior of male adolescents using a sample of 395 adolescents (i.e., 13 to 18 years old) in Tehran, Iran. The Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment (Armsden & Greenberg, 1987) modified version of the Antisocial Behavior Scale (Dekovic, 1999) were utilized in measuring mother attachment and antisocial behavior, respectively. Results of the current study indicated a significant and negative correlation between mother attachment and antisocial behavior. The findings of this study have important implications that address the relationship between mother attachment and the antisocial behavior of male adolescents.
