Sažetak

The topic of the research refers to a possible link between the quality of affective attachment and the phenomena significant for adolescence (aggression and stimulus seeking). The research was carried out in Serbia (City of Nis) using a sample including participants aged 13-15 (N=220). Instruments: Modification of Brennan Inventory of experiences in close relationships (Kamenov and Jelić, 2003), Sensations Seeking Scale – Form V (Zuckerman et al., 1978), Basic Aggression Questionnaire (SIGMA 4/D, Momirovic et al., 1991) and the Questionnaire for collecting socio-demographic variables.
Results show that a statistically significant negative correlation with aggression and subscale of disinhibition of SSS exists only among adolescents with safe patterns of affective attachment, while in the so-called unsafe patterns (avoidance, occupied, scared) correlations with aggression and seeking of excitement are mainly positive, though statistically not important, with the exception of occupied patterns and the subscale of disinhibition. Taking into consideration the fact that the sample has predominantly avoidance pattern of affective attachment, understanding of the results and correlations could help in the prevention work with adolescents and possible identification of risk groups.
