Psychological Factors of Adolescent Victim Behavior: The Role of Early Attachment Experience

The theses examine the relationship between the type of attachment formed in childhood and manifestations of victim behavior in adolescence. It has been established that early emotional interaction with parents influences the formation of behavioral patterns that determine the adolescent’s attitude toward themselves and others. Particular attention is paid to the role of insecure attachment as a factor that increases susceptibility to victimization. The study emphasizes that the family serves as the primary environment for personality development, capable of both fostering emotional stability and trust, and – in cases of disrupted relationships – increasing the risk of victim behavior.
