-Mothers and infants observed at home
-Many observations carried out by family and reported to researchers
-Limit impact of presense of the researcher on behaviour
-Strength as conducted in natural environment = more natural behaviour
-However as the families are reporting they may have shown social desirability bias - 3Lacks population validity-Sample problems as everyone lived in one area of Glasgow and they were working class communities
-There might be practices unique to this area, not found anywhere else
-Weakness as it means sample is not representative so cannot be generalised outside of Glasgow - 4Lacks cultural appropriation- Might be criticised for being culturally biased, favouring Scottish fams
-Practices may differ across other countries and cultures which might also influence attachments in infants
-Weakness as results cannot be generalised
-Beta biased - 5Beta biasMinimises or ignores differences between cultures
- 6Alpha biasResearch that shows real tenduring differences between two cultures but will make one culture appear to be superior to the other
