The primary aim of this study was to investigate whether secure parent-adolescent attachment relationships moderate the longitudinal relation between 9th grade (G9) ADHD symptoms and 12th grade (G12) delinquency within a community sample of adolescents.
Participants included 335 9th graders, of whom 203 students completed measures again in 12th grade. Mothers reported on their adolescents' ADHD symptoms and aggressive behaviors, and adolescents completed measures of their own delinquency and their perceptions of their parent-child attachment relationships.
G9 ADHD symptoms predicted increases in G12 delinquent behaviors. Moderation effects were also found such that G9 ADHD symptoms predicted G12 delinquency for only those youth who had moderate or low levels of secure maternal attachment. Paternal secure attachment did not moderate the effects of G9 ADHD symptoms on G12 delinquency.
Findings underscore the importance of secure maternal attachment relationships in the development of delinquency among adolescents with ADHD symptoms.
本研究的主要目的是探究在社区青少年样本中，安全的亲子依恋关系是否能够调节 9 年级（G9）ADHD 症状与 12 年级（G12）犯罪之间的纵向关系。
参与者包括 335 名 9 年级学生，其中 203 名学生在 12 年级再次完成了测量。母亲报告了青少年的 ADHD 症状和攻击行为，青少年则完成了自己的犯罪行为和对亲子依恋关系的感知的测量。
G9 ADHD 症状预测了 G12 犯罪行为的增加。还发现了调节效应，即只有那些具有中等或低水平安全母性依恋的青少年，G9 ADHD 症状才会预测 G12 犯罪。父亲的安全依恋并不能调节 G9 ADHD 症状对 G12 犯罪的影响。
这些发现强调了在 ADHD 症状青少年中，安全的母性依恋关系对犯罪发展的重要性。
