These adolescents completed measures of Trait Meta-Mood Scale (Salovey et al., 1995), and Revised Attachment Scale (Collins, 1996). Analysis of data with utilization of multiple regression analysis revealed that emotional intelligence of delinquent adolescents can be predicted from the magnitude of their attachment styles. Moreover, data revealed that delinquent adolescents with anxious attachment were lower in emotional intelligence than individuals with a secure attachment style.
