Autonomy, attachment and psycosocial adjustment during adolescence: A double-edged sword?

Article Abstract:

The importance of both autonomy and attachment for psychosocial adjustment in adolescence has been stressed in recent reviews. A study examined the assumption that high rates of autonomy within a context of attachment gives the best combination for psychosocial adjustment, in a sample of 400 adolescents. No evidence was found for an extra positive effect of being both autonomous and strongly attached.
