Q

THEORIES OF ATTACHMENTS: NATURE

Define monotropy

A

A child has an innate (i.e. inborn) need to attach to one main attachment figure. This is called monotropy. This concept of monotropy suggests that there is one relationship which is more important than all the rest.

THEORIES OF ATTACHMENT: NATURE

Define social releases

A

Babies are born with the tendency to display certain innate behaviors (called social releasers) which help ensure proximity and contact with the mother or attachment figure (e.g., crying, smiling, crawling, etc.) – these are species-specific behaviors.

Mother leaves room
The stranger re enters the room and tries to comfort and play w infant
The mother re-enters room and stranger leave

67
Q

A

Securely attached, insecure avoidant, Insecure resistant

69
Q

71
Q

AINSWORTH’S STRANGE SITUATION

Describe insecure - avoidant

A

Did not orientate towards mother and unconcerned by her absence, showed little interest when mother returned, avoided the strangers but not as strongly as they avoided their mother, mothers sometimes ignored infants

72
Q

A

Showed intense distress, particularly when mother was absent, rejected mother when she returned, showed ambivalent attitudes towards stranger, mothers appeared to behave ambivalently towards infants

73
Q

AINSWORTH’S STRANGE SITUATION

Describe insecure resistant

Q

CROSS CULTURAL DIFFERENCES IN ATTACHMENT STYLES

Describe Grossman and Grossman’s research

A

German infants tended to be classified as insecure rather than secure, different childrearing practices, infants do not engage in proximity seeking behaviour, appear insecurely attached

80
Q

CROSS CULTURAL DIFFERENCES IN ATTACHMENT STYLES

Describe Takahashi’s research

A

Conducted his own situation, 60 Japanese infants, same levels of secure as Ainsworth but no evidence of insecure - avoidant. High levels of insecure resistance, so distressed on being alone 90% of infants had to be stopped

81
Q

CROSS CULTURAL DIFFERENCES IN ATTACHMENT STYLES

Give two biases of these studies

A
  • Cultural bias: portraying American ideas onto rest of the world, ethnocentric western assumption, affects validity
  • Subcultural bias: use middle class rather than working or upper class, different parenting styles
