Kan jag skylla på föräldrarna? En kvantitativ studie om kopplingen mellan anknytning, moral och brottslighet.
(2024) PSYK11 20232Department of Psychology
- Abstract
- The current study is a quantitative survey based on attachment theory and age-graded theory of informal social control with the purpose of investigating the connection between attachment, morality and crime. The study has tested three hypotheses; Low morality and general insecure attachment together predicts an intense criminal career more than insecure attachment alone. An insecure attachment to a parent and/or partner together with low morality predicts criminality more than insecure attachment to friends together with low morality. People with insecure attachment have a lower moral than people with a secure attachment. The data collection consisted of two samples; non-convicts and convicts, who answered questions regarding their... (More)

An insecure attachment to a parent and/or partner together with low morality predicts criminality more than insecure attachment to friends together with low morality. People with insecure attachment have a lower moral than people with a secure attachment. The data collection consisted of two samples; non-convicts and convicts, who answered questions regarding their attachment, criminal career and morality. In total 54 people participated in the study. The data was analyzed with correlations and regressions and the results showed no significant connection between general insecure attachment combined with low morality as an explanation for an intense criminal career. The results showed a significant positive connection between mother-related attachment anxiety combined with low morality and an intense criminal career. The correlations showed negative relationships between general attachment and morality, and a negative connection between mother-related attachment anxiety and morality. The results from the current study are somewhat in agreement with previous research and theory. (Less)
- Abstract (Swedish)
- Den aktuella studien är en kvantitativ enkätstudie grundad i Anknytningsteori och “Age-graded theory of informal social control" som ämnade att undersöka kopplingen mellan anknytning, moral samt kriminalitet. Studien testade de tre följande hypoteserna; Låg moral och generell otrygg anknytning predicerar tillsammans en intensiv kriminell karriär i högre utsträckning än endast generell otrygg anknytning. En otrygg anknytning till föräldrar och/eller partner tillsammans med låg moral predicerar kriminalitet i högre utsträckning än otrygg anknytning till vänner tillsammans med låg moral. Individer med otrygg anknytning har en lägre moral än individer med trygg anknytning. Datainsamlingen genomfördes med två urvalsgrupper; “icke-dömda... (More)
- Den aktuella studien är en kvantitativ enkätstudie grundad i Anknytningsteori och “Age-graded theory of informal social control" som ämnade att undersöka kopplingen mellan anknytning, moral samt kriminalitet. Studien testade de tre följande hypoteserna; Låg moral och generell otrygg anknytning predicerar tillsammans en intensiv kriminell karriär i högre utsträckning än endast generell otrygg anknytning. En otrygg anknytning till föräldrar och/eller partner tillsammans med låg moral predicerar kriminalitet i högre utsträckning än otrygg anknytning till vänner tillsammans med låg moral. Individer med otrygg anknytning har en lägre moral än individer med trygg anknytning. Datainsamlingen genomfördes med två urvalsgrupper; “icke-dömda individer” och “dömda-individer” som besvarade frågor om anknytning, kriminell karriär och moral. Totalt deltog 54 personer i studien. Datan analyserades med korrelationer och regressioner och resultaten visade inte några signifikant samband mellan generell otrygg anknytning tillsammans med moral som förklaring till en mer intensiv kriminell karriär. Resultaten visade ett positivt signifikant samband mellan moders-relaterad anknytningsångest tillsammans med låg moral och intensiva kriminella karriärer. Korrelationsanalysen visade att det fanns negativa signifikanta samband mellan generell anknytning och moral samt negativa signifikanta samband mellan anknytning till modersfigur och moral. Resultaten i studien stämde delvis överens med tidigare forskning och teori. (Less)
