    Study Notes

    Early Theories of Attachment and Attachment Behaviors

    • Early theories of attachment include Freud's psychoanalytic theory and the behaviorist perspective emphasizing reward and conditioning.
    • Harlow and Zimmerman's research showed that infant monkeys preferred comfort over food, highlighting the importance of physical affection in attachment development.
    • Attachment behaviors include stranger anxiety, separation anxiety, greeting reactions, and secure-base behaviors, emerging between 7-15 months.
    • John Bowlby's ethological theory of attachment emphasizes innate behavioral tendencies and the evolutionary perspective on attachment.
    • The Strange Situation Procedure, developed by Mary Ainsworth, assesses attachment styles in 1- to 2-year-olds through structured episodes simulating caregiver-infant interactions.
    • The Strange Situation Procedure includes episodes such as the reaction to strangers, caregiver's departure, reunion with caregiver, and alone time, to assess attachment style.
    • Attachment formation is almost universal across cultures, but the quality of attachment varies based on the quality of care received.
    • Attachment styles include insecure-avoidant, disoriented/disorganized, secure, and insecure-resistant, with varying behaviors and characteristics.
    • Influences on attachment quality include parenting styles and behaviors, sensitive caregiving, and the impact of daycare on attachment.
    • Sensitive caregiving fosters secure attachments, and interventions such as sensitivity training for parents have been shown to lead to more securely attached children.
    • Cultural variations in attachment behaviors reflect cultural norms and parenting styles.
    • High-quality childcare can compensate for less sensitive parenting at home, and children in childcare are as likely to be secure as those not in childcare.
