Adolescent Attachment to Parents and Friends in Relation to Aspects of Self-Esteem.

Paterson, Janis; And Others

Journal of Youth and Adolescence, v24 n3 p365-76 Jun 1995

The influence of adolescents' perceptions of their attachment relationships with parents and friends was studied for 493 New Zealand adolescents. Findings suggest that adolescent self-esteem is more strongly associated with the quality of affect toward parents and friends than with the utilization of these figures for support or proximity.
