N2 - The Maternal Attachment Scale (Miller et al., 2009) was developed within the context of a study using self-control theory to investigate self-control, attachment, and deviance among Hispanic adolescents. Maternal attachment was measured by the strength of adolescents' attachment to their mothers and was created by combining a series of Likert-type responses to 10 items. This measure was based on research by Hirschi (1969; see also Hirschi, 2002), which postulates that the first element of the social bond (and arguably the most important) is attachment, which refers to the level of affection and respect one has toward significant others, including parents. Factor analysis was performed amongst a sample of Hispanic adolescents in Puerto Rico (aged 15-19 years), revealing a one-factor solution. Results supported reliability. The measure also showed significant correlations with measures assessing low self-control, male-headed household, father as the primary disciplinarian, paternal attachment, and deviant behavior.
