Figure 3 Subscales of risk behavior according to level of the attachment to peers
Figure 4 Total score of risk behavior according to level of the attachment to peers
We can formulate these conclusions:
Attachment to mother significantly influences the risk
behavior production. In all categories of the risk behavior
we can identify the decrease of the values in the relation to
quality of the attachment (table 1). F-values range from 12,
678 to 70,621. All results were significant at level α ≤
0,001. In the comparison of the subgroup with weak
attachment and strong attachment we observed the most
massive decrease of the risk behavior (subgroup with
strong attachment scored lower) in the category of family
relations and rituals, bullying (both 63%) and delinquent
behavior (79 %) (figure 1). The score of the total risk
behavior was lower by 49 % (figure 4).
Attachment to father significantly influences the risk
behavior production. In all categories of the risk behavior
we can identify the decrease of the values in the relation to
quality of the attachment (table 2). F-values range from 13,
326 t
o 82,581. All results were significant at level α ≤
0,001. In the comparison of the subgroup with weak
attachment and strong attachment we observed the most
massive decrease of the risk behavior (subgroup with
strong attachment scored lower) in the category of family
relations and rituals, and delinquent behavior (both 58 %)
(figure 2). The score of the total risk behavior was lower by
38 % (figure 4).
Attachment to peers significantly influences the risk
behavior production except the category addictive behavior
(nonsignificant result). In all other categories of the risk
behavior we can identify the decrease of the values in the
relation to quality of the attachment (table 3). F-values
range from 4,161 to 20,839. All results were significant at
level at le
ast α ≤ 0,05. In the comparison of the subgroup
with weak attachment and strong attachment we observed
the most massive decrease of the risk behavior (subgroup
with strong attachment scored lower) in the category of
delinquent behavior (35 %) and bullying (45 %) (figure 3).
The score of the total risk behavior was lower by 19 %
(figure 4).
5 Discussion
As the results showed, we can support all formulated statistical
hypotheses except the hypothesis 17. The attachment to the
mother seems to be the most influencing relation. It influences
the expressions of the risk behavior in all categories, especially
the family relations and rituals, bullying and delinquent
behavior.
