Fichas del conjunto (6)
- 1What did Bowlby state our primary relationship does?Helps us make a mental representation of what a relationship is, which we then use for all other relationships in the future. There will be continuity between early attachment experiences and later relationships. The child who has a secure attachment style should be more confident in interactions with friends.
- 2How does the Minnesota study support this view?Followed participants from infancy to late adolescence and found continuity between early attachment and late emotional/social behavior. Securely attached children were rated most highly for social competence later in childhood, were less isolated and more popular than insecurely attached children.
- 3What is an alternative explanation for continuity in relationships?The temperament hypothesis which argues that an infant's temperament affects the way a parent responds, so may be a determining factor in infant attachment type. The infant's temperament may explain their later relationships.
- 4What does research by Bailey suggest?Parents tend to base their parenting style on the internal working model so attachment type tends to be passed on through generations of a family.
- 5Why are adult relationships likely to reflect early attachment styles?The experience a person has with their caregiver in childhood would lead to the expectation of the same experiences in later relationships.
- 6How does Hazan and Shaver's love quiz show this?They conducted a study to collect information of participants early attachment styles and their attitudes towards loving relationships. They found that those who were securely attached as infants tended to have happy lasting relationships.
