Does the Relationship between Quadratic Mean Diameter and Stem Density in Old Thinned and Unthinned Cryptomeria japonica Forests Deviate from a Power Function?

Abstract

Relationships between attachment to parents, morality, peer theft, and self-reported theft were examined in a sample of 83 male and 91 female high school students. Measures of care and overprotection from the Parental Bonding Instrument contributed to the parental attachment scores. A score for morality was obtained with Rest's Defining Issues Test-Short Form, and measures of theft and peer theft were established through the use of an adapted portion of the National Youth Survey. Adolescents reporting involvement in burglary had significantly lower morality scores than those who reported no involvement in burglary in the past year, Also in support of the hypotheses, peer involvement in theft prevailed as the strongest correlate of adolescent theft. No significant relationships were found between attachment to parents and theft. Implications for school counseling are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)
