Attachment to Parents, Social Competence, and Emotional Well-Being: A Comparison of Black and White Late Adolescents.

Rice, Kenneth G.; And Others

Journal of Counseling Psychology, v44 n1 p89-101 Jan 1997

Tested an attachment model using 630 late adolescents. The resulting data fit the model reasonably well. The gender of parent differences emerged, in which attachment to father was a more important predictor of social competence than was attachment to mother. Social competence proved a significant predictor of emotional adjustment. (RJM)
