Adolescent attachment organization impacts psychosocial functioning. Secure attachment relates to peer competence and fewer behavioral issues, while preoccupied attachment is linked to increased internalizing and deviant behaviors.

Area of Science:

  • Developmental Psychology
  • Adolescent Psychology
  • Attachment Theory

Background:

  • Attachment organization is crucial for adolescent development.
  • Understanding its link to psychosocial functioning is vital for at-risk youth.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the relationship between attachment organization and psychosocial functioning in adolescents.
  • To investigate how different attachment styles influence peer competence, internalizing behaviors, and deviant behaviors.

Main Methods:

  • 131 moderately at-risk adolescents participated.
  • Attachment organization was assessed using the Adult Attachment Interview.
  • Psychosocial functioning was measured using parent, adolescent, and peer reports.

Main Results:

  • Secure attachment organization correlated with higher peer competence and lower internalizing and deviant behaviors.
  • Preoccupied attachment organization was associated with increased internalizing and deviant behaviors.
  • These findings persisted even after controlling for other attachment-related factors.

Conclusions:

  • Attachment organization plays a significant role in various aspects of adolescent psychosocial development.
  • Secure and preoccupied attachment styles have distinct implications for adolescent well-being and behavior.
  • Findings underscore the importance of addressing attachment in interventions for at-risk adolescents.
