the comparison of tendency to risky behaviour, in secure/insecure attachment in parents

the purpose of present research was comparing tendency to risky behaviours in secure/insecure attachment in parents (mother/father). the results showed that those showing insecure attachment patterns towards the mother were significantly higher at risk to become cigarette smokers, drug persuasion, and alcohol drinkers compared to those with secure attachment patterns. those showing insecure attachment patterns towards the father were significantly higher at risk to become cigarette smokers, drug persuasion, compared to those with secure attachment patterns. referring to the attachment between mother and father, secure attachment to father-insecure attachment to mother depicts the high-risk to become cigarette smokers.by considering the high-risk behavior in term of attachment, this research demonstrates that secure attachment creates an internal working model that provides compatible guidelines while encountering the stressful events.
