- drives parents to provide care
when is the critical period for bowlby??
6 months - 2.5 years
according to bowlby, what happens if an infant doesn’t make attachments during the critical period??
struggle forming attachments later in life

true
define internal working model
infant’s attachment with caregiver gives child a template for future relationships with others
define continuity hypothesis
base parenting on one’s own parenting experiences
name the 5 evaluation points for bowlby’s monotropic theory
- tronick
- emerson and schaffer
- critical period
- hazen and shaver
- lorenz
the attachment gene programmes an infant to release what??
social releases
give an example of social releases
crying
who did bowlby think the primary caregiver should be??
mother
does bowlby’s monotropic theory suggest attachment is innate or learned??
innate
outline the observation made by tronick that supports bowlby’s monotropic theory
studied african tribe efie and found that is was common for women to look after other women’s children
what did tronick find that supports bowlby’s monotropic theory??
infants aged 6 months still had a strong attachment with mother
what does tronick’s observation suggest that supports bowlby’s monotropic theory??
infants still have monotropic bond with mother despite interactions with others
outline hazen and shaver’s study that supports bowlby’s monotropic theory
gave p’s a love quiz that assesses relationships with parents and adult relationships

strong correlation between attachment type and adult relationship type
how do hazen and shaven’s findings support bowlby’s monotropic theory??
supports internal working model
outline the study conducted by lorenz that supports bowlby’s monotropic theory
hatched greylag geese so that the first thing they saw was himself
what did lorenz find that supports bowlby’s monotropic theory??
became the gosling’s imprinted parent and they followed him around
how does lorenz’s findings support bowlby’s monotropic theory??
supports idea that attachment is innate
outline the interview conducted by emerson and schaffer that criticises bowlby’s monotropic theory
interviewed 60 mothers and infants in glasgow and found that often the main attachment was the father
Evaluate Lorenz animal study?
:( - this type of research will always have animal bias and we must be cautious when applying finding to humans and we are very different to species, cognitively that is.
State two explanations of attachment.
The learning theory (Behavioural) + Bolwby theory (Biological)
Four ways attachment could be tested?
- Seeking proximity
- Distress
- Joy on reunion
- General behaviour
