Here are the attachment style differences during adolescence:[96]Secure adolescents are expected to hold their mothers at a higher rate than all other support figures, including father, significant others, and best friends.Insecure adolescents identify more strongly with their peers than their parents as their primary attachment figures. Their friends are seen as a significantly strong source of attachment support.Dismissing adolescents rate their parents as a less significant source of attachment support and would consider themselves as their primary attachment figure.Preoccupied adolescents would rate their parents as their primary source of attachment support and would consider themselves as a much less significant source of attachment support.[96]
