Attachment Theories and Their Effects The interaction between an infant and her parents have serious and lasting effects in her life through the way she approaches future relationships with other people, and also with how she approaches her relationship with God. How much she trusted her parents will be reflected in how much she trusts her romantic partner or God, much in the same way of how she expects to be treated in her relationships reflects how she was treated by her parents.

Nitzberg (2005) study links between attachment security, altruism, and care giving aiming to theorize altruism relative to Bowlby’s attachment theory (1969/1982) which treats altruism as part of care giving. Care giving is an inborn scheme of reactions to others needs, evolved from early emotional caregiver relations and influenced by attachment security. Networks of expectations, behaviours, and emotions related to socialisation lead to secure, anxious or avoidant attachment which predict…

Brief Overview of Adult Attachment Theory and Research, written by R. Chris Fraley, discusses research findings and theoretical ideas on the topic of adult attachment theory. He provides insight on previously developed findings related to this topic, and the behavioral and emotional patterns that transfer into his understandings on adult attachment. Past and current studies suggest that attachment behaviors are exhibited when separation occurs between a primary attachment figure, or caregiver,…

and it seem that they wanted to take credit for Genie’s progress. However, there were some participants who actually felt attachment and cared for Genie. Genie was stressed about the number of people coming and going out of her life. We have learned that in this type of circumstances it is best to have few people around the child in order for the child to develop healthy attachment styles. In the end it will be a hard to divide the risks and the rewards of performing a research and treatment on…

impact of secure relationships on children’s well-being The impact of attachment: Bowlby’s theory suggests that all children are biologically pre-programmed to form relationships and attachments with others before they are even born for survival and that the fear of strangers in babies and young children represents an important survival mechanism, built in by nature. Bowlby used part of Lorenz’s (1935) study that shows that attachment is innate in young ducklings and therefore has survival…

caregivers learn each child’s unique ways, and the children learn the caregivers’ ways of communication, which helps children’s development as a whole person. Within each principle, interactions and relationships are built as important aspects of attachment between caregivers and children for children’s healthy brain development, and children’s ability to thrive (Gonzalez-Mena, J. & Eyer, D.W.,…

thus producing secure attachment. Feldman (2014) discusses developmental psychologist Mary Ainsworth’s work on infant attachment, expanding Bowlby’s theory. Ainsworth’s work focused on classifications of infant attachment. When a mother hears her infant cry, the usual response is to respond to the infants’ needs quickly. Within the scope of attachment, Ainsworth realized that there needed to be a proper level of reaction to feelings to meet the criteria of a secure attachment pattern. A…

Attachment is a term used to describe a unique emotional bond through which two people are connected. Typically this is descriptive of a child’s desire for the physical closeness and security it associates with its primary care giver. The Strange Situation procedure is an experiment which seeks to examine the quality of this relationship. In evaluating the effectiveness of the experiment, this essay will first look at the background to the Strange Situation and how initial results serve to…

the mother, and form a relationship and attachment. However Bowlby 's work has been criticized, one of the most common criticisms of attachment theory is that non-Western societies tend to offer different results to the ones Bowlby found showing that he cannot generalize his theory to the whole population as different children showed different results in other cultures. This shows a culture biased theory as some children in other cultures do not show attachment to their parent and are still well…
