What information does a teenager's view of the maternal relationship add to a study of aggression?
The authors examine attachment and self-esteem as distinct constructs in an analysis of adolescent behavior.
Who was studied?
Adolescents assessed for aggression, attachment to mothers and self-esteem
Age / stage: Adolescence
Read with three questions
- What information does a teenager's view of the maternal relationship add to a study of aggression?
- Whose observations or reports were used, and what competing explanations are compatible with them?
- Which features of the study population (adolescents assessed for aggression, attachment to mothers and self-esteem) would matter when applying the findings in another setting?
Keep the limits in view
Adolescents' aggression, self-esteem and maternal attachment were assessed as related variables. The analysis cannot determine that changing self-esteem would change aggression.
