Abstract

Previous studies have found that delinquency is related to attachment to parents and peers as well as to resilience. Adolescents in orphanages were vulnerable to involvement in delinquency but they could be also more resilient. This study examined the relation between attachment to significant figures (father, mother, orphanage’s caregivers, peers), resilience, and delinquency among adolescents in orphanages in Jakarta. Participants were 402 adolescents from 19 orphanages in Jakarta aged 11–19 years, consisting of 179 boys and 223 girls with middle and high school education. Results showed that participants had moderate attachment to significant figures and moderate resilience, and they were only engaged in mild delinquency. Resilience acted as a mediator in the relation between attachment to father and delinquency, while the attachment to caregivers was directly and negatively correlated with delinquency not mediated by resilience. Attachment to mother and peers did not correlate with resilience or with delinquency. It can be concluded that attachment to father and caregiver(s), as well as resilience had more influence in delinquency than attachment to mother and peers.
