H6: We assume that the adolescents with strong attachment to
mother will behave fewer risky in the area of the eating habits
and activities.

mother will produce lower level of the risk behavior.

father will behave fewer risky in the area of the family relations
and rituals.

4 Results
The obtained data were analysed in the SPSS 20.0 programme.
We used the ANOVA test to compare the research subgroups.
The standard level of significance (α ≤ 0.05) was accepted.
We compared three research subgroups: (1) subgroup with weak
attachment, (2) subgroup with average attachment, (3) subgroup
with strong attachment. These three subgroups were created on
the base of the descriptive values of the attachment score
obtained by IPPA-R. We used the average mean and standard
deviation to create these subgroups. We used the following
formula: AM ± SD. The first subgroup scored below the value
AM – SD. The second subgroup scored between the value AM –
SD and AM + SD. The third subgroup scored over the value AM
+ SD. This procedure was realized separately for the mother, the
father and the peers.
The results of the analysis are presented in the tables 1-3 and
figures 1-4.
