Štětinová, Tereza ; Presslerová, Pavla (advisor) ; Pavlas Martanová, Veronika (referee)
This thesis aims to explore a topic of attachment and its influence on adolescents' risk behaviour. First, the theoretical part provides an overview of important milestones of the developmental period of middle adolescence.

It tries to provide a comprehensive overview of the topic and that is why it also deals with the analysis of gender differences and differences between attachment to mothers and attachment to fathers. The research brings interesting results. It confirms the expected positive correlation between girls' well-being and their attachment to both mother and father, however it does not prove either the correlation between boys' well-being and their attachment to mother or correlation between boys' well-being and their attachment to father. The analysis of gender differences also shows that girls and boys do not differ in attachment to mother, but they do differ in attachment to father. Girls show lower quality of the relationship...
