- 1What is reciprocity?How 2 people interact
Mother-infant interation is RECIPROCAL in that both infants and mother respond to one another - 2What is interactional synchrony?Mother and infant reflect each others emotions and actions in a coordinated way
- 3What did Brazelton describe the interaction between mother and child as?A dance
- 4What did Isabella do and find?Assessed mother and child interaction and whether is has a link to better quality attachment - it did
- 5Evaluation Hard to observeIt's difficult to be certain what an infant is doing at such a young age
Cannot be sure that certain behaviour seen in interactions have a special meaning - 6Evaluation Controlled observationsGood validity
Observations filmed form multiple angles
Behaviour doesn't change in response to the controlled observation as babies don't know they are being watched - 7Explain parent-infant attachment- Traditionally seen as mother-infant
- Around 7 months this specific attachment is formed
- Then secondary attachments
- 75% of infants attached to father by 18 months (protest when they walk away) - 8What does Grossman say about the role of the father?- Found that quality of father's attachment at infancy DIDN'T have an impact on attachments in adolescence
- However, quality of PLAY was related to quality of adolescents attachments
- Less nurturing role, more play and stimulation - 9What did Field find about fathers as primary carers?- Fathers can take over the mothers nurturing role so gender is not the key, it's the level of responsiveness which matters
- 10Evaluation Inconsistent findings on fathers?Some researchers look at fathers as secondary attachments and others as primary attachments
So the 'role of the father' is not an easy question to answer - 11Evaluation Why aren't children without fathers different?Golombok - children growing up in single-parent and same-sex parent don't develop any different from those from a two parent hetero family
So fathers role isn't important?
However, in same-sex families roles are usually divided similarly - does one take on the father role? - 12Evaluation Socially sensitive researchMay put negative light onto working mothers, they may feel inadequate from seeing this research
But this limitation may balance out the need for the findings into attachment, so it's worth it
