Task 8 Associations between parenting and attachlent to th elother figure in the middle; of childhoof and adolescence Flashcards
Evidence indicates
indicates that the primary attachment figures characteristic pattern of interaction is pivotal in determining childs attachment sstatus
Mothers of securely attached infants:
Are more tender potive responsive (able to perceive and interpret childs point of view and to respond appropriately according to his/her needs) averse to physical contact and interact more angrily, intensely and intrusively.
Mothers of insecure-avoidant infants
Are more rrejected of childs attachment behaviors, more averse to physical contact and interact more angrily, intensely and intrusively.
Mothers of insecure-resistant infants
Are inepter and more unsynchronized in interactions, more unpredictable,uninvolved,insensitive and inconsistently responsive.
What does hostile parenting contribute to?
To distancing behavior from the child leading to greater parental withdrawal
Sensitive pzrenting in later childhood
Parents should do this: encourage children´s psychological autonomy while providing age-appropriate monitoring and limit-setting within warm context of engagement.
A failure to provide such context increases the chances of establishing insecure working models of attachment.
What are the three dimensions of parenting pbehavior?
There are three dimensions of parenting behavior sensitive to developmental needs durin glater satges of develoment:
A warm and responsive environment
Encouragement towards psychological autonomy and individuation through non coercive discipline
Demands for age appropriate behavior,limit setting and monitoring.
Different types of parenting
Authoritative parenting
Authoritarian parenting
Permissive/indulgent parenting
Negligent parenting
Authoritative parenting
High on three dimensions
Best parenting style for children´s postiive adjustment, that views parenting as a bidirectional proces. It involves warm parental involvement and encouragement of psychological autonomy. Attachment with this parenting style is secure.
Authoritarian parenting
Low for first two dimensions and high for the last one.
This parenting involves unresponsive parents to childrens needs. These are extremely power assertive and can be harsh at times. Althoguh there a fewer behavioral problems than negligent parenting, there is more internalized stress.
Permissive/Indulgent parenting
(High on first dimension and low on th elast two)
This parenting style although warm and affectionate does not repsect childs individuality and fails to provide appropriate monitoring and limits. Attachmen twith this parenting style is insecure-ambivalent/preoccupied.
Negligent parenting
Worst parenting style for children´s positive adjustment. Parents do not support independence of children and their own self-efficiency. They are neglectful and less supportive, which goes hand in hand with insecure-avoidant and fearful-avoidant
attachments.
What are the two dimensions underlying internal working models that can be used to measure attachment in later childhood?
Worthiness of” self “to be loved and suported
Emotional availability and responsiveness of “other”
What are the four attachment styles that emerge from worthiness of self and reponsiveness of other?
Secure attachment-Positive self positvie othe r
Dismissing avoidant - Positive self/negative other
Preoccupied -Negative self/Positive other
Faerful avoidant- Negative self/negatuve other
What are the findings of the study?
The different attcahments relate to different stylles of parenting look beatriz final
