3.3: Bowlby's monotropic theory

Question 1

Outline Bowlby’s monotropic theory of attachment (6 marks)

Answer 1

Infants have an innate drive to survive and babies seek proximity to their carer (usually their biological mother) for safety

Question 4

Babies use signals (social releasers) to attract the carer, so that what?

Answer 4

Babies use signals (social releasers) to attract the carer, so that caregiver-infant interaction takes place to form an attachment bond between them

Question 5

Outline Bowlby’s monotropic theory of attachment (6 marks).
Infants have an innate drive to survive and babies seek proximity to their carer (usually their biological mother) for safety.
Babies use signals (social releasers) to attract the carer, so that caregiver-infant interaction, for example what, takes place to form an attachment bond between them?

Answer 5

Babies use signals (social releasers) to attract the carer, so that caregiver-infant interaction, for example reciprocity, takes place to form an attachment bond between them

Question 6

Outline Bowlby’s monotropic theory of attachment (6 marks).
Infants have an innate drive to survive and babies seek proximity to their carer (usually their biological mother) for safety.
Babies use signals (social releasers) to attract the carer, so that caregiver-infant interaction, for example reciprocity, takes place to form an attachment bond between them.
What is there also for attachment to take place?

Answer 6

There is also a critical (sensitive) period for attachment to take place that is approximately up to 2 years

Question 7

Outline Bowlby’s monotropic theory of attachment (6 marks).
Infants have an innate drive to survive and babies seek proximity to their carer (usually their biological mother) for safety.
Babies use signals (social releasers) to attract the carer, so that caregiver-infant interaction, for example reciprocity, takes place to form an attachment bond between them.
There is also a critical (sensitive) period for attachment to take place that is approximately up to 2 years.
What is this attachment also to?

Answer 7

This attachment is also to a single specific caregiver - monotropy

Question 8

Outline Bowlby’s monotropic theory of attachment (6 marks).
Infants have an innate drive to survive and babies seek proximity to their carer (usually their biological mother) for safety.
Babies use signals (social releasers) to attract the carer, so that caregiver-infant interaction, for example reciprocity, takes place to form an attachment bond between them.
There is also a critical (sensitive) period for attachment to take place that is approximately up to 2 years.
This attachment is also to a single specific caregiver - monotropy.
What did Bowlby say that the attachment to a primary caregiver does?

Answer 8

Bowlby said that the attachment to a primary caregiver provides a child with an internal working model of relationships

Bowlby said that the attachment to a primary caregiver provides a child with an internal working model of relationships.
What does the model represent?

Answer 9

The model represents the relationship with the primary caregiver

Bowlby said that the attachment to a primary caregiver provides a child with an internal working model of relationships.
The model represents the relationship with the primary caregiver and acts as what?

Answer 10

The model represents the relationship with the primary caregiver and acts as a template for future relationships

Question 11

Outline Bowlby’s monotropic theory of attachment (6 marks).
Infants have an innate drive to survive and babies seek proximity to their carer (usually their biological mother) for safety.

Bowlby said that the attachment to a primary caregiver provides a child with an internal working model of relationships.
The model represents the relationship with the primary caregiver and acts as a template for future relationships and what is the evolutionary explanation?

Answer 11

The model represents the relationship with the primary caregiver and acts as a template for future relationships and the evolutionary explanation is that security equals survival
