What did cultural variations do
Meta analyse 32 studies of attachment from countries all across the world

Individualist cultures had the same attachment ratios as streange situation
Collectivist cultures insecure resistant attachment was high we (above 25%)
Strength of cultural variations
Indigenous research
There was no language barrier which is usually a problem with cross cultural research
What are tow limitations of cultural variations
There’s confounding variables as the methodology was not matched in the different studies being meta analysed
It was etic as they assumed the same technique of measuring atttachment worked in every culture so the findings are meaningless
