Example
For example, without either:
1. Being too uninvolved or being too emotionally close (which would typify type A behaviour)
Or,
2. Being controlling and argumentative (type C behaviour)

Looking back in adulthood at one’s early relationship to a primary attachment figure also lacks validity, because it relies on accurate recollections and it is difficult to remember early relationships accurately.
The second AO3 PEEL paragraph is that association does not mean causality.
What is the implication?
The implication is that infant attachment type causes the attachment
Discuss research into the influence of early attachment on childhood relationships (16 marks).
Kerns found that securely attached infants tend to go on to form the best quality childhood friendships, whereas insecurely attached infants later struggle and have friendship difficulties.
This shows that early attachment does affect childhood relationships.
Myron-Wilson and Smith performed a questionnaire of about 200 children aged 7 - 11 from London and found that secure children were very unlikely to be involved in bullying, insecure-avoidant children were the most likely to be bullied and insecure-resistant children were most likely to be bullies.
This shows that early attachment does affect childhood relationships.
The first AO3 PEEL paragraph is that most studies, like that of Myron-Wilson and Smith’s, assess infant-parent attachment by means of interview or questionnaire, not in infancy, but years later.
