- 1Who conducted the main study?Van Ijzendoorn and Kroonenberg (1998)
- 2What were their methods?-Conducted a meta-analysis study comparing the proportions of attachment types between different countries. Study consisted of 32 studies of SS over 8 countries (15 s's in USA).
-Consisted of over 1000 children. - 3Findings?In all countries secure att was most common.
- Insecure-resistant- most common in Japan
-Insecure-avoidant- most common in Germany
Variation within countries was 1.5x times greater than between. - 4Who conducted the Korea study? What was the procedure?Jin et al, compared prop of att types in Korea to other studies. Used 87 children.
- 5What were the findings?Prop of secure to insecure similar to most countries, most being secure. More were resistant than avoidant- similar to Japan.
This can be explained by their similar child-rearing styles, shows that cultural practices have an influence on att types. - 6Who conducted the Italy study? What was their procedure?Simonella et al- looked at studies in Italy compare to previous studies.
- 7Findings?50% secure (lower than before),
He concluded that lower number was due to increase in longer working hours for mothers and more professional childcare.- shows cultural change can make a dramatic difference to patterns of att. - 8Two advantages?+ large sample- more external validity, better generalisations made, also internal allows more errors to be made because of increase in number.
+ SS is reliable and agreed between observers, agree on types because of controlled conditions and easy to observe behaviour. - 9Two disadvantages?- SS validity lower, measuring att or anxiety?
- Method is bias, SS designed in US and 15/32 studies in US, ethnocentric not a true rep of cultural variation.
