Q

evaluation points for schaffer and emersons study

A
  • good external validity
  • limited sample characteristics
19
Q

expand on good external validity being eval point for schaffer and emersons study

A
  • study carried out in own homes and mostly observed by parents
  • behaviour of babies was likely unaffected by presence of observers
  • participants behaved naturally - good external validity
20
Q

expand on limited sample characterstics being eval point for schaffer and emersons study

A
  • sample size of babies was good considering data collected
  • however - families involved were from same class and 50 years ago
  • child rearing practices may vary from cultures
  • results dont generalise to other social contexts

A
  • problem studying asocial stage
  • measuring multiple attachments
22
Q

expand on there being problems studying asocial stage as eval point for schaffers stages of attachment

A
  • babies in this stage are too young and have poor corodination
  • difficult to make judgement based of observations
  • isnt much observable behaviour in babies
  • evidence cannot be relied on
23
Q

expand on measuring multiple attachments being eval point fo schaffers stages of attachment

A
  • problem distinguishing what infants behaviour is showing
  • bowlby pointed out children have playmates and attachment figures were they may become distressed when playmate leaves - doesnt signify attachment
