Abstract
Adolescent attachment relationships were investigated as moderators of the longitudinal relation between symptoms of Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and delinquency in adolescents. Secure and dismissing maternal attachment moderated this relation; ADHD symptoms predicted delinquency only for adolescents with low levels of secure or high levels of dismissing maternal attachment relationships.
