A
  • good inter reater reliability - Bick et al - 94% agreement in team when identifying types. use of controlled conditions, standardised instruction, easy behavioural categories
  • x culture bound - japanese baby show anxiety as not used to caregiver leaving - limits usefulness

Q

what is ao1 for stages of attachment

A
  • asocial (first few weeks) - behave similar to people and inanimate objects
    -indiscriminate (2-7 mths) favour people over objects
  • specific (7 months) show anxiety, bond with primary figure
    multiple (by a year) 29% 2nd attachemnt within month of primary
    Schaffer + emmerson - 60 glasgow working class. Ask mum bout everyday separation and unfamiliar faces = Specific attachment formed with most interactive to baby’s signals

Q

what is the ao3 for stages of attachment

A
  • real world app - child care decisions - asocial and indiscrimate comfort by any adult but not in specific
  • x poor asocial stage evidence - babies = immobile hard to report - falsely appear asocial?
  • external validity - observeration done by parent so baby not anxious or distracted - x risk of social desirability bis

Q

what is the ao3 for role of the father

A

-x conflicting reserach - grossman dads play distinctive role McCallum children without dad don’t develop different - research may not be in conflict, children just adapt
- x observer bias- typical stereotype is dads are more playful which influenced observations
- real world app- parental advice reduce parental anxiety - encourage stay at home dads - economical implications

Q

what is ao3 for lorenz

A
  • research support- Regolin chicks followed 2st moving- animals innate mechanism imprint on first moving thing —– x Guiton et al - chicks initially tried imprint marigold gloves but via experience learnt to mate with other chicks. Imprint on mating behaviour isn’t permanent
  • x not generalisable - mammalian mothers show emotional attachment to young more than birds.

Q

what is ao1 for institutionalisation

A

Rutter et al- 165 Romanian orphans to see how good care makes up for poor early experiences
adopted before 6 mths IQ=102 after IQ=77, clingy attention seeking
Zeenah et al strange situation to assess attachemnt in 95 Romanian orphans 19% institutionalised group securely attached 44% characteristics of disinhibited attachment (equally affectionate to strangers and those know well)

what is ao3 for institutionalisation

A
  • real world app- improved child care in institutions. homes now have 1/2 key workers playing central role for each child to avoid disinhibited attachment

Q

A

Van Ijzendoorn and Kroonenberg- meta analysis 32 studies using strange situation conducted in 8 studies
individualist cultures - similar rate of insecure resistant to Ainsworth original(less than 14% ) collectivist above 25%

A
  • use of indigenous research- researchers same culture background as ppt so aids communication and prevents misunderstanding of instructions

Q

what is the ao1 for caregiver interactions

A

reciprocity- respond and elicit, babies active ppts mothers respond 2/3 of time
Interactional synchrony - same action simultaneously Meltzoff and Moore - filmed response to 1/3 facial expressions and found they imitated. Isabelle et al high level of synchrony= better quality attachment

Q

what is the ao3 for caregiver interaction

A
  • filmed observations- able to see finer details and baby not aware observed
    -x baby hard to know- actions may be gradual reflex or just meaningless
    -x hard to know importance of the interactions- Feldman “interaction just says behaviour at same time but not importance” so overemphasise significance. BUT isabella et al found good reciprocity correlates good attachment
17
Q

what is ao1 for bowlby monotropic theory

A

attachment innate system giving survival advantage
law of continuity- more constant baby gets care better attachment Law of accumulated separation - safest dose = 0
born with social releasers (e.g. smiling) initiate adult interaction. 1st attachment forms internal working model acts as template for future relationships

18
Q

what is the ao3 for bowlby monotropic theory

A
  • supporting reserach - Bailey et al- mothers poorly attached to parent have 1 year old poorly attached internal model passed through families over emphasise internal model- personality genetically influenced impacts social development
  • x lacks validity- others develop attachemnt of same quality as mum and provide comfort + secure base-Bowlby wrong to say unique quality to primary attachment
  • supporting evidence for social releasers - Brazelton- primary attachment figure ignore releases baby showed distressed but eventually lay motionless.
19
Q

what is ao1 for maternal deprivation

A

continued emotional care is essential separation= arent physically present Deprivation= lack of emotional care
separated form mum critical period (2 1/2 yrs) risk of psych damage
maternal deprivation cause low IQ and affectional psychopathy
Bowlby - 44 delinquent teens accused stealing interviewed- 14/44 affectionless psychopaths 12/44 separated mum in 1st 2 yrs

19
Q

what is ao3 for maternal deprivation

A
  • supporting evidence - Levy et al separate baby rats for 1 day had permanent effect on rat social development
  • x conflicting evidence - replications (Lewis 1954) didnt produce same psychopathy findings Gao et al found link between poor maternal care + adult psychopathy
  • x wrong critical period - Koluchova did case study with Czech twin isolated 18 mths looked after 2 loving afults but recovered fullt. rather a sensitive period. severe deprivation positive outcome as long as have some social interaction, good after care
20
Q

what is ao1 for learning theory attachment

A

love who feeds due to conditioning
CC- UCS= food causing UCR to pleasure which are both unlearnt caregiver (NS) paired with UCS eventually become associated with food so same as pleasure
OC - baby cries, get response (e.g food) caregiver generalised to food - hunger becomes primary drive attachement= 2ndary drive

21
Q

what is ao3 for attachment learning theory

A
  • some elements of conditioning still involved- choice of primary figure may be who is assoicated with warmth/ comfort- conditoning still important in choice of attachment
  • x counter evidence - suggests food main reason for attachment but isabella found high level of synchrony important. Lorenz imprint 1st moving object Harlow comfort for attachment - other factors influence attachment - e.g parent’s responsiveness
  • x non supporting evidence - Schaffer + emmerson- infant form attachment with mum even if fed by others - food not primary drive comfort more important
