Self-reported attachment characteristics, substance use and behavioural problems were assessed in 68 male juvenile delinquents from rural and urban areas. As was predicted, insecure attachment characteristics were related to behavioural problems, substance use, and poor family functioning. Urban delinquents reported more substance use and more interpersonal problems with peers and family members than their rural counterparts. Contextual influences on adolescent attachment relationships and adjustment problems may have implications for the administration and delivery of psychological treatments in youth correctional settings.
对68名来自农村和城市地区的男性青少年罪犯的自我报告依恋特征、物质使用情况和行为问题进行了评估。正如所预测的那样,不安全依恋特征与行为问题、物质使用以及不良家庭功能有关。城市地区的青少年罪犯比农村地区的青少年罪犯报告了更多的物质使用情况以及与同龄人和家庭成员之间更多的人际问题。青少年依恋关系和适应问题的情境影响可能对青少年教养机构心理治疗的管理和实施具有启示意义。
