ATTACHMENT: Cultural Variations In Attachment Flashcards
who are the key researchers
ijzendoorn and kroonberg
what did izjendoorn and kroobergy conduct
study
look at prop of attachments types
across range of countries
why did I K conduct study to look at prop of attachmnet types across a range of countries
assess cultural variation
izjendoorn and kroonberg also looked at
differences in same countries
to get idea of variations within a culture
outline procedure of cultural variations within attachment
located 32 studies of attachment types assessed using strange situation
to investigate prop of babies with diff attachment types
in procedure of cultural variatins in attahcment of the 32 studies conducted , how many countries where it conducted in
8
15 in the US
How many results did teh studies yield for
1990 kids
data for the 32 studies were
meta analysed
meta analysis
results of studies combined & analysed tigether
weight studies for their sample size
overall what were the findings in terms of variation
wide variation between proportions of attachment types in different studies
What was most common classification in countries
secure attachmnet
how did proportion of secure attachment vary in britian an china
B- 75%
C- 50%
in indiivdualist cultures how were the rates of insecure resitant attachment
similar to ainsworth sample
all under 14 %
how was IR attachment in collectivist cultures and what was the impact of insecure avoidant
over 25%
IA reduced
give exa,ples of collectivist cultures
china
japan
israel
interesting finding in Izjendoorn and kroonberg
variations between results of studies within the same country 150 % greater than between countries
give example of wehre variations between cultured grester thnan in countries
us
securley attached 46 % and 90% in another sample
why did simonelli do a italian study
see whether proportions of babies diff attachment types
matchded those of previous studies
italain study who was assessed and how
76 babies
12 months old
starnge situation
findings of italian study
50& secure attachmen t
36 % avoidant
22% resistant
compare reuslts of italian stiudy to other studies
lower rate of secure
higher rate of avoidant
what did researcher ssuggest about the finding sof italina study and how that compared to other s
due to increasing number of mothers of very young kids
working long hours and using professional care
ovferall what do italian stuyd show us
patterns of attachment type not static but move with cultural change
why did korean study take place
compare proportions of attahcmen types in korea to other studies
who was tested in korean studies and how
87 babies
strange situation
part 1 of korean findings .
overall insecure …
proportions of insecure & secure babies similar to most countries
most babies being secure
part 2 finding of k study
however insecurley resistant
more classed as insecurley where resitant
one baby avoidant
distribution of attachment types in korea similar to
japan
japan and j have similar child rearing styles therefore similarity explained in terms of
child rearing style
Overall waht dcultural variation of attachment show us (conclusion)
secure attachment norm in wide range of cultures
Overall waht dcultural variation of attachment show us (conclusion) secure attahcment norm
how does this upport bowlby
idea attachment is innate and universal
and(SA ) is the universal norm
HOWEVER in terms of conclusion `
research shows cultural practices influence attachment type
