| Question | Answer |
| Tronick et al Efe tribe | Habitants live in extended family groups. Children were taken care of by different attachment figures but always slept with their mother, who was usually the primary attachment figure. |
| Fox Israeli communal children's homes | Children were taken care of by nurses. The Strange Situation took place with either the nurse or the mother. Infants were equally attached to both except in terms of reunion behaviour, where the infant showed greater attachment to their mother. |
| Grossman and Grossman Germany | Infants were classified more as insecurely rather than securely attached, possibly due to different childcare practices. German culture involves keeping some interpersonal distance so infants do not engage in proximity-seeking behaviour. |
| Takahashi Japan | Infants showed no signs of avoidance but high rates of resistance- they were particularly distressed on being left alone, possibly because in Japan infants are rarely separated from their mothers. |
| Van Izendoorn and Kroonenberg Meta-analysis | They found secure attachment was the most common classification in every country studied. Insecure avoidant was the next most common except for in Israel and Japan. They also found that variation within cultures was 1.5 times greater than variation between cultures. |
| CONTRADICTING The Strange Situation Rothbaum et al | Believed that the attachment theory and other research is not relevant to other countries because it is based solely on American culture. The contrasts between Western and Japanese cultures are very significant. |
| SUPPORTING The Strange Situation Posada and Glaser | Believed there was a lot of evidence that supported the universality of attachment from many different countries. They also believed that the issue is not whether sensitivity leads to independence, but that sensitivity is linked to secure attachment, when it is actually manifested. |
