1/ Mary Ainsworth
2/ Main & Solomon
3/ Diana Baumrind
4/ John Bowlby
2/ Main & Solomon
Secure (type B), Insecure avoidant (type A) and insecure ambivalent/resistant (type C) are all attachment styles identified by:
1/ Mary Ainsworth
2/ Main & Solomon

1/ Mary Ainsworth
What has Bowlby’s contribution not been criticised for?
1/ It over-emphasises the role of women
2/ Mothers have to be continually available; negative outcomes in behaviour blamed on lack of sensitivity

According to Rudolph Schaffer and Peggy Emerson, the following statement applies to which of their for stages of attachment development?
“The baby becomes increasingly independent and forms several attachments. By this stage the majority of infants have formed multiple attachments.”
1/ Asocial (0 - 6 weeks)
2/ Indiscriminate Attachments (6 weeks to 7 months)
3/ Specific Attachment (7 - 9 months)
4/ Multiple Attachment (10 months and onwards)
4/ Multiple Attachment (10 months and onwards)
The results of the study indicated that attachments were most likely to form with those who responded accurately to the baby’s signals, not the person they spent more time with. Schaffer and Emerson called this sensitive responsiveness.
According to Rudolph Schaffer and Peggy Emerson, the following statement applies to which of their for stages of attachment development?
“Special preference for a single attachment figure. The baby looks to particular people for security, comfort, and protection. It shows fear of strangers (stranger fear) and unhappiness when separated from a special person (separation anxiety).”
1/ Asocial (0 - 6 weeks)
2/ Indiscriminate Attachments (6 weeks to 7 months)
3/ Specific Attachment (7 - 9 months)
4/ Multiple Attachment (10 months and onwards)
3/ Specific Attachment (7 - 9 months)
Some babies show stranger fear and separation anxiety much more frequently and intensely than others, nevertheless, they are seen as evidence that the baby has formed an attachment. This has usually developed by one year of age.
According to Rudolph Schaffer and Peggy Emerson, the following statement applies to which of their for stages of attachment development?
“Infants indiscriminately enjoy human company, and most babies respond equally to any caregiver. They get upset when an individual ceases to interact with them.”
1/ Asocial (0 - 6 weeks)
2/ Indiscriminate Attachments (6 weeks to 7 months)
3/ Specific Attachment (7 - 9 months)
4/ Multiple Attachment (10 months and onwards)
2/ Indiscriminate Attachments (6 weeks to 7 months)
From 3 months infants smile more at familiar faces and can be easily comfortable by a regular caregiver.
According to Rudolph Schaffer and Peggy Emerson, the following statement applies to which of their for stages of attachment development?
“Many kinds of stimuli, both social and non-social, produce a favourable reaction, such as a smile.”
1/ Asocial (0 - 6 weeks)
2/ Indiscriminate Attachments (6 weeks to 7 months)
3/ Specific Attachment (7 - 9 months)
4/ Multiple Attachment (10 months and onwards)
1/ Asocial (0 - 6 weeks)
Weisner & Gallimore challenged Bowlby’s emphasis on the mother as primary caregiver by showing….
1/ Cross culturally the majority of children have multiple primary caregivers
2/ Cross culturally babies consistently show more attachment to a caregiver of the same sex
3/ Cross culturally babies consistently show more attachment to a caregiver of the opposite sex
4/ Cross culturally babies consistently show more attachment to the caregiver who provides the most food
1/ Cross culturally the majority of children have multiple primary caregivers
What is disinhibited attachment?
1/ Lack of selectivity in social relationships
2/ Attention seeking, inappropriate closeness to unfamiliar adults, lack of social referencing towards known adults in novel context
3/ Disinhibited Social Engagement Disorder (DSED) in the DSM-5
4/ 1 & 2
5/ 1, 2 & 3
5/ 1, 2 & 3
