Resum:	This study aims to explore whether past childhood attachment experiences influence adolescent attachment style and difficulties establishing new bonds during adolescence, and whether caregiving environment conditions, such as being in foster care or in an at-risk family, affect this association. The CaMir-R test was administered to 3 groups of adolescents: 24 in foster care, 22 from at-risk families supervised by social services and 46 from the general population. The results support the strong influence of childhood attachment experiences on adolescent attachment style and difficulties establishing new bonds during adolescence. The data reveal differences between the groups and in gender with regard to the influence of childhood attachment experiences on adolescent attachment styles. Childhood attachment experiences exerted a greater influence in the foster care group than in the other groups. As for gender differences, childhood attachment experiences had a greater effect on boys than girls with regard to current self-sufficiency, feelings of resentment and the value assigned to parental authority, while they affected current family concern more in girls than in boys.
