This is a quantitative research. The “Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment”, “Explanatory Style Inventory for High School Student” and “Self-concept Scale and the Adolescents” were used as the measurements to collect necessary data. The MANOVA, T-test, Pearson Correlation and Canonical Correlation were chosen as the statistics. The results are as follows. 1、For delinquent adolescents, the self-concept is above average, the score of school-self is the highest, and the score of achievement-self is the lowest. The total self-concept and emotion-self are different by gender；the total self-concept, ability-self, school-self and physical-self are different by educational levels；the family-self is different by marital status. 2、For the area of attachment, mother attachment is the highest, father attachment is the lowest. 3、For the area of explanatory style, delinquent adolescents explain positive events as“internal、stable、median pervasiveness” attribution, and explain negative events as “internal、median permanence、specific” attribution. 4、Father attachment, mother attachment, peer attachment and permanence of explanatory style to positive events are canonical correlated to school-self, ability-self, family-self and physical-self. Concrete recommendations are proposed for delinquent adolescents, probation officers, parents, teachers and school counselors.
