Maternal, paternal, and peer attachment and adolescent behavior problems: a validation study of the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment (IPPA-45)
The findings suggest that the IPPA-45 is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing adolescents' attachments to their parents and peers. Thus, attachment relationships, including peer attachment, appear to be essential for protecting teenagers from behavior problems and should be targeted in intervention programs.
