This study is to investigate the relationship between fivefold dimensions of attachment, and internalizing and externalizing disorders among Tehran`s adolescent girls. The research is descriptive and is done based on correlation. The statistical society is all Tehran’s14–17 year-old girls in the academic year 1395,in which 115 girls were chosen based on availability sampling method. Data was collected by self-report inventory of child behavior checklist (YSR) of Achenbach and McConaughy (1991), and attachment styles questionnaire (ASQ) of Feeney and Noller (1994), and was analyzed by Pearson correlation and stepwise regression analysis. Results show that externalizing disorders have respectively negative and positive significant relationship with the dimensions of trust and need for approval, and internalizing disorders have significant positive relationship with need for approval dimension.The results of stepwise regression show that need for approval dimension is predictor of internalizing disorder, and trust and need for approval dimensions are predictors of externalizing disorders. This study illustrates the importance of need for approval dimension as a significant predictor for both internalizing and externalizing disorders in adolescent girls, and presents the pattern of low confidence and high need for approval to predict externalizing disorders in adolescent girls. So, training parents about needs of each stage of development is necessary and can influence attachment and mental health.

The aim of this study was comparing personality traits and defense mechanisms of delinquent boys in six categories of thievery, quarrel, drugs, murder, sexual abuse and abduction. The sample included 60 guilty boys resided in the correction and rehabilitation center in Tehran who were selected by accessible sampling method. NEO Questionnaire was used for assessing personality traits and Defense Style Mechanisms Questionnaire was used to assess defense mechanisms. Using one-way ANOVA and Tukey, the results showed significant differences in openness factor between thievery group with quarrel group and quarrel group with murder group but there was no difference between other groups. There were also significant differences in sublimation mechanism between thievery group with abduction group and abduction group with substance abusive group. Since there are significant differences between crimes that are accompanied by injury and death with other crimes, it is necessary to use different interventions for people with different crimes in Correction and Rehabilitation Centers.
