Description
Summary:In this paper we focused on the relation between the attachment of the adolescents and the risk behaviour production. In the research we worked with 220 adolescents in the lower secondary education system, average age 12.32 years. We applied two research methods: IPPA-R (Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment – Revised; Greenberg, Armsden, 1987), QRB (Questionnaire of Risk Behaviour; Čerešník, 2016). In general, we assumed that the higher risk behaviour production of the adolescents with worse relation with the parents and the peers, the lower is the level of attachment. The results showed that this assumption can be supported.
