Variations in attachment-autonomy configurations related to substance use and several adolescent competencies are explored. Analyses of subgroups that represented four attachment-autonomy patterns derived from cluster analysis showed higher competency levels and fewer problems related to substance use for the group combining strong attachment and self-reliance, coupled with low levels of emotional autonomy.
