This study examined adopted adolescents’ levels of attachment security to parents and aggressiveness as compared to those of community nonadopted adolescents and of clinical nonadopted adolescents. The implications of these results are discussed in light of the protective effects of care relationships in early adolescence (vs. late adolescence) as well as the differential role of parent figures
This course is based on the reading-based online article, Aggressiveness in Adopted and Non-Adopted Teens: created by Miriam Gallarin. PsyD, et al. in 2021.
