Attachment - AQA A-level
Cards in this deck (16)
- 1reciprocitywhen a baby and caregiver respond to and elicit a response from each other
- 2successful development of future attachment depends on...the quality of infant and caregiver interactions (meaningful and intense).
- 3alert phasesfeldman and eidelman said in 2007 that mothers respond two-thirds of the time.
- 4interaction becomes more intense and reciprocal at...3 months
- 5how do babies play an active roletraditionally seen as passive babies are now said to be an active participant in attachment formation with both infant and caregiver initiating interaction
- 6interactional synchronythe temporal coordination of micro-level social behaviour
- 7beginnings of interactional synchrony was studied byMeltzoff and Moore 1977 - 2 weeks old and up - observed baby as adult made expressions and gestures - found that baby frequently imitated them
- 8importance of attachmentIsabella et al 1989 - observed 30 mothers - assessed degree of synchrony - high levels of synchrony = high quality of attachment
- 9attachmenta two-way emotional bond between two individuals in which each feels emotionally secure around them
- 10attachment behavioursproximity-seeking: staying physically close
separation distress: being upset when caregiver leaves
secure-base behaviour: leaving but regularly returning - 11str: filmed observations (infant-caregiver interactions)multiple angles; fine details
further analysis possible
dem-char not present; single-blind
good; reliability, validity - 12str counter: evidence from isabella et al (infant-caregiver interactions)isabella et al 1989 - good levels of IS + R associated w/h good attachments - developmental significance
- 13lim: difficulty observing babiesbehaviour not coordinated
observing small gestures and expressions
hard to interpret motives
meaningfulness uncertain - 14lim: difficulty inferring developmental importancefeldman 2012 IS and R - only desc behaviour
robust phenomena (reliably observed)
may not have a purpose/be important for development - 15stages of attcahmentasocial (few weeks)
indiscriminate (2-7 months)
specific attachments (7+ months)
multiple attachments (18 months) - 16asocial stageinanimate objects = people = reaction
preference for familiar people = small
