Study Notes
Attachment Theory
- Attachment is the bond with a person impacting security and safety
- Loss, threat, and grief when the person leaves, comfort and pleasure when present
- John Bowlby: children need at least one special caregiver for healthy development
- Mary Ainsworth: attachment styles differ in security (influence on personality and social relationships)
- Strange Situation: experiment on infant attachment (experimenter determines the child's attachment style)
- Secure base: a responsive caregiver encourages exploration
- Proximity Seeking: infants seek closeness in times of stress
- Exploration: infants explore with a "secure base" (caregiver)
- Stranger anxiety: distress from strangers
- Separation anxiety: emotional response to caregiver leaving
- Secure Attachment: feels safe, explores with parent, protests separation but comforts on reunion
- Resistant Attachment: clinginess and dependence on caregivers; anxious about availability
- Avoidant Attachment: emotionally distant, doesn't protest at departure; same reaction to the stranger and parents
- Disoriented Attachment: fear and confusion toward caregivers, often due to trauma or abuse
Internal Working Model
- Mental representations about early attachment experiences
- Influence how people view themselves, others, and relationships throughout life
- Self-view: shaped by caregiver treatment; feeling worthy or unworthy
- Others-view: expectations for others' treatment
- Relationships-view: how secure attachments (trustworthy and caring relationships) and insecure attachments (relationships felt untrustworthy, unreliable) impacts relationships
