Summary/Abstract: Social maladjustment is the result of, inter alia, improper socialization interactions, first of all parental attitudes, i.e. all relatively permanent dispositions to apply to the child specific reaction patterns. The aim of the research was to determine the predictive role of parental attitudes in the social maladjustment of young people. The research obtained data from 100 socially maladjusted people and 100 people who did not show socialization deficits, aged 15–17. It was hypothesized that positive parental attitudes (acceptance, autonomy, protection) play a predictive role in social maladjustment and contribute to reducing the risk of anti-social behavior. It was found that these attitudes significantly negatively correlate with the socialization dysfunctions of youth. The predictor in the model turned out to be the attitude of accepting the mother and the attitude of father’s autonomy, allowing for the explanation of about 60% (R2 = 0.597) of general variance in the variance of antisocial behavior in adolescents.
