Q

A
  • Developed by Mary Ainsworth
  • Lab task:
    1. Caregiver and infant enter room
    2. Stranger walks in
    3. Caregiver leaves infant with stranger
    4. Caregiver returns to comfort the infant
    5. Stranger leaves, caregiver leaves, infant is alone
    6. Stranger returns
    7. Caregiver returns
22
Q

What do we look for in the strange situation task?

A
  • How does the infant act during normal play? Do they use their parent as a secure base and explore the
    environment?
  • How does infant act during separations? Do they become distressed when their caregiver leaves?
  • How does infant act during reunions? Are they able to be calmed down by their caregiver when they return?
23
Q

Describe a secure attachment

A
  • Uses parent as “secure base” to explore the toys
  • Distress on separation
  • Comforted by parent on return, “safe haven”

This means: “my caregiver is here for me,” caregiver is reliably sensitive most of the time
Related to many positive outcomes, including better social-emotional development

24
Q

Describe an Insecure – ambivalent attachment:

A

Doesn’t explore the toys, doesn’t use parent as “secure base”
* Distress on separation
* Unable to be comforted on return, parent is not “safe haven
This means: “my caregiver is not always here for me, but the louder I am, sometimes I get what I need,” amping
up emotions and hard to settle down. Caregiver
may be inconsistent
Insecure attachment patterns are related to later anxiety

25
Q

Describe an Insecure – avoidant:

A
  • Explores the toys, but preoccupied/distracted with them
  • Little visible distress on separation (though internally stressed out)
  • Disengaged from parent on return

This means:“my caregiver is not here for me, so I need to stuff down my feelings and hide them.” Caregiver may be emotionally absent or otherwise not engaged with infant’s emotional needs
Insecure attachment patterns are related to later anxiety

John Bowlby

26
Q

Describe a Disorganized attachment pattern

A
  • May explore the toys, may be preoccupied
  • Usually distressed on separation
  • Reunion is very bizarre– may run away from parent, may freeze, may seem scared
  • Disorganized = no coping mechanism
    This means: caregiver has a hard time dealing with infant’s
    emotions and may react to them in frightening or confusing ways. Common with history of unresolved trauma. Infant learns that their caregiver is their secure base but also the person who terrifies them
  • A disorganized attachment pattern is a risk factor for later externalizing problems, troubled relationships, passing down disorganized attachment pattern to own children

(created by Mary ainsworth)

27
Q

A

*An infant’s own personal characteristics and their way of approaching the world. Personal reactivity and sensitivity affects how an infant acts in all situations.
*Easy babies
*Slow-to-warm-up babies
*Difficult (or challenging) babies
