- 3What are collectivists and give an exampleWhere the group is seen as more important such as in Japan or Israel
- 4Why are attitudes towards Individualism and collectivism importantWill effect attitudes about how children should be brought up
- 5What were the aims of van Ijzendoorn and KroonenbergThese researchers were interested in finding it whether the way in which children were attached to their care giver differed
-between cultures(inter-cultural differences)
-within cultures( intra-cultural differences) - 6What is the method for this study ?This was a meta analysis (review of several attachment studies)-examined 32 studies from 8 countries all of which was based on studying the way children responded to being left by their care giver (strange situation). Studies that used special groups or small numbers (fewer than 35 children) were not included
- 7What were the findings of this study ?-variation between cultures were small ( most of the children in the different countries were securely attached)
-the type of attachment called ‘insecure avoidant’ was the next common except in Israel and japan
-the variation within cultures was 1 and a half times bigger than the variation between cultures - 8What was the conclusion of the studySecure attachment was the most common type of attachment across the different cultures examined-it seemed to be ‘standard’ across all countries. In addition the larger variation within cultures suggests that it is to simple to say that s children are brought up in the same way within a given culture
- 9What is a methodological strengthMeta analysis-wide range of data and more accurate
- 10Name a methodological weakness of the studyCan’t be generalised across all babies -a lot of countries not used -over half studies from USA bias
- 11Name an ethical strength of the studyParents would have given consent - participants would have been debriefed
- 12Name a ethical weakness of the studyCould potentially cause stress to children especially if a culture had different norms to western countries
- 13What is a general weakness of the study ?People from different environments were studied( within cultures) -so different attitudes to raising children
- 14What is a general weakness of the study ?Effect of media - different countries exposed to similar ideas on how to raise children
- 15What was takahashis aimA psychologist used the stranger situation technique to study children brought up in Japan
- 16What was the method of the takahashi study ?Studied 60 Male and female infants aged 1-they had been brought up at home and the researcher watched how these children reacted when their mother left them in a room with a stranger (the strange situation)
- 17What were the findings from the takahashi study68% of the children were viewed as being securely attached ( this was similar to the percentage among US children)
The Japanese kids became very distressed when left alone and 90% of the infants,the study stopped at this point. Such distress was not observed in the American children - 18What was the conclusion of the takahashi studyDifferent ways of bringing up children in Japan compared to western culture -techniques used to study western kids may be stressful for Japanese children
Western kids-encouraged to play on own make friends and be independent
Japanese children- spend more time in close proximity with mothers - 19What is a weakness of the takahashi study ?The influence of other factors- the effect of media
- 20What is a weakness of the takahashi study ?assessing attachment- they are being judged by the assumptions of another culture and these assumptions may not be appropriate for the children being studied
