- 1what is the key study for cultural variationsVan Ijendoorn and Kroonenberg
- 2what type of study did ijendoor and kroonenberg conductMeta analysis
- 3what is a meta analysisa process where a large number of studies which have involved the same research method and questions are reviewed together
- 4what study did ijzendoorn and koonenberg base their analysis on and how many studys were there32 separate studies in 8 countries Ainsworth strange situation
- 5what were the results of the study?great britain had the highest secure
japan had the lowest avoidant
isreal had the highest resistant - 6what do the results of the study showThe difference in the pattern shows that every culture had different raring practices
We assume because secure has the highest percentage of attachment that its with the mother because of the strange situation - 7why are there a higher number of insecure avoidant attachments in eastern countres ie. japanCommunal care in isreal from 4 months old explains the resistance because of inconstant contact with parents.
In japan children are never left alone so strange situation doesnt reflect true situation - 8why does Germany have high insecure avoidant attachmentsChild raring practices encourage children to become independent
- 9Explain the difference between individualist and collectivist culturesIndividualist- value independence ie. USA
collectivists- value importance of groups and depend on each other ie. Isreal - 10explain at least two reasons why we must be careful about interpreting Van Ijzendoorns results as proof of cross cultural differencesNo global representation as its only been carried out in 8 countries
They found larger intra-cultural variations in countries than between countries
different psychologists use different measuring techniques - 11what is ethnocentrism?Using your own cultural values to generalize other cultures
- 12What are the names of two other psychologists researching into cultural variations?Grossman et al
Takahashi - 13what did grossman find and what does it support.That German infants tend to be generalized as insecure avoidant than securely. German culture keeps interpersonal differences between parent and child so they don't seek proximity. Supports the high levels of insecure avoidant in ijzendoorn's study.
- 14Explain a weakness to ijzendoorn and koonenbergs meta analysisThe strange situation is ethnocentric as it was developed in america and based on american norms so its inappropriate
