Abstract

Purpose

Early maladaptive schemas (EMS) and parental attachment may play a role in juvenile offending. Identifying these factors could contribute to both the prevention of juvenile offending and the rehabilitation of juvenile offenders. The current study aimed to evaluate the associations between juvenile offending, EMS and parental attachment.

Methods

Sixty-nine adolescents convicted of various offences, and 73 non-offending adolescents were assessed using a sociodemographic data form, the Young Schema Questionnaire and the Short Form of the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment.

Results

Juvenile offenders scored significantly higher in the schema domains of enmeshment/dependence, abandonment, failure, vulnerability to harm, defectiveness and self-sacrifice compared with controls. No statistically significant difference was found between the groups regarding parental attachment. However, a negative correlation was found between parental attachment and early maladaptive schema domains.

Conclusions

The findings suggest that EMS may play an important role in juvenile offending. Schema-focused therapy and family-based interventions may represent promising approaches for the assessment and prevention of juvenile delinquency.

土耳其少年犯父母依恋与早期适应不良图式的评估病例对照研究

目的早期适应不良图式（EMS）和父母依恋可能在青少年犯罪中起作用。识别这些因素有助于预防青少年犯罪和改造少年犯。本研究旨在评估青少年犯罪、EMS和父母依恋之间的关系。方法采用社会人口学资料表、青少年图式问卷和父母同伴依恋量表简表对69名不同犯罪的青少年和73名未犯罪的青少年进行调查。结果青少年罪犯在依恋/依赖、遗弃、失败、易受伤害、缺陷和自我牺牲的图式域得分显著高于对照组。在父母依恋方面，各组之间没有统计学上的显著差异。然而，父母依恋与早期适应不良图式域之间存在负相关。结论EMS可能在青少年犯罪中起重要作用。以图式为中心的治疗和以家庭为基础的干预可能是评估和预防青少年犯罪的有希望的方法。
