Abstract
This study considers the relationship of perceptions of parenting with moral reasoning, causal attributions about criminal behaviour, and se lf-reported delinquency in a sample of young people. Correlations reve aled that perceived parental rejection and emotional warmth, and causa l attributions based on temptation were significantly related to self- reported delinquency. The most significant predictors of delinquency s cores were paternal emotional warmth, and causal attributions based on temptation and mental instability. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
