Explanation of attachment |
Between I and CG is a prime example of a behaviour pattern that is rooted in biology and evolution AB has become programmed into human beings - found to operate similarly in almost all cultures Purpose and function- same regardless of culture or ethnicity - keep baby close to CG for safety and protection- allow secure base- develop loving and reciprocal relationship which can be passed on through generations |
|
|
Monotropy |
Special intense attachment B believed infants form one special attachment with M If no M bond with another ever-present adult M substitute |
|
|
Innate |
Genetically programmed to form attachments Born with ability to form attachments - no need to learn |
|
|
Survival |
Social releases - unlock innate tendency for adults to care for them |
|
|
Social releasers |
A help infants survive Give our species an adaptive advantage making us more likely to survive Infant - CG kept safe fed and kept warm |
|
|
Critical period |
Between 3 months- 2 1/2 years |
|
|
Reciprocal
|
2-way interaction between M&I - V.important in the so-emo-intellect development of the child in later years
|
|
|
Internal working model
|
through monotropical attachment- IWM formed - special mental schema for relationships - future relationships based on IWM |
|
|
Evolutionary
|
Attachment between I&CG prime example of behaviour rooted in biology and evolution - evolutionary function - adaptive & increases the chance of survival |
|
|
Dire ( B's maternal deprivation hypothesis) |
emo and intellectual consequences of separation between Child and M or M substitute - damaging for child in adulthood
|
|
|
Eval of Hazan and Schaffer self report method |
Halo effect - people want to appear to be the best version of themselves -Asking parents about children's attachments - untruthful -data can be flawed - Memories can be inaccurate - as time elapses memories fade - effects validity sensitive research - affected by social desirability |
|
|
Volunteer sample
|
- May only appeal to a certain type of person - lack in variation -Less of a risk of people withdrawing from the study -Ethnocentric - Japanese mothers -Biased |
|
|
Correlation
|
-High, positive correlation -Haven't manipulated due to ethical issues - cannot establish cause and effect - only say that the variables are related |
|
|
Support
|
Gerard McCarthy 1999 - AA - most difficulty in romantic relationships -AR- poorest relationships SA - Most successful romantic and friendships |
|
|
Against
|
Kagan 1984 -innate temperamental characteristics - serious impact on the quality of the MI relationship and therefore attachment type -Innate temperament characteristics influence individual throughout life and thus love relationships |
|
|
Which explanation of attachment suggest that infants attach to the person who feeds them
|
Learning Theory
|
|
|
At what age did Bowlby say the critical period occur
|
3months-2 1/2 years
|
|
|
Whose study showed that the critical period is more a sensitive period
|
Rutter et al 2011
|
|
|
Which 2 types of conditioning are used to explain attachment according to LT
|
Classical and Operant
|
|
|
List two social releasers
|
B - smiling/cooing P - big head/chubby cheeks |
|
|
What is Kagan's temperament hypothesis
|
Temperament is innate - influences attachment types rather than the caregivers influence
|
|
|
Which aspect of Bowlby's evolutionary theory does the Hazan and Shaver study support
|
The attachments formed as a child form the IWM for future relationships
|
|
|
Define post-hoc
|
after the event, a theory cannot be proved after evolution
