  1. 8 different countries
  2. 1990 children
40
Q

Name at least 2 findings from the VI & K study on cultural variations?

A

= secure attachment most common in all
= IA (type C) individualist cultures results similar to Ainsworth (14%)
= IA (type C) higher in collectivist cultures (above 25%)
= greater variation within CULTURES than BETWEEN
