Abstract
In this study, adolescents coming from married and divorced families are compared from the standpoint of adult attachment styles and perceived parenting styles of adolescents. The study using Relationship Scales Questionnaire and Parental Styles Scale shows that adolescents coming from divorced families develop more fearful attachment styles from the viewpoint of orientations related to adult attachment styles in comparison with those coming from married families. On the other hand, coming from married or divorced families made no significant difference with reference to two other orientations, namely insecure (dismissive-preoccupied) and secure. As for the perceived parenting styles, it is seen that adolescents coming from divorced families perceive their fathers as parents showing less affection and more control in comparison with those from married families. However, perception of the mother made no significant difference from the viewpoint of marital status of parents. The findings quoted are discussed within the framework of related literature.
