Abstract
Studies have found that there is a high prevalence of trauma and a lack of parental attachment in those with antisocial behavior. This study aims to reflect these findings using the Adverse Childhood Events Questionnaire (ACE-Q) to measure trauma, Psychological Maltreatment Review (PMR) to measure attachment, and the Self-
Report Antisocial Behavior Measure (SABM) to measure antisocial tendencies. The hypothesis is that Childhood trauma and Parental Attachment will significantly predict variance in Adult Antisocial Behavior. Findings did not support the hypothesis, although there were findings that allude to a variance in antisocial behavior dependent on the relationship with the father, versus the mother.
