Bowlby's Theory
- Bowlby was influenced by
Lorenz's work on imprinting of
precocial birds
- this is where an attachment is formed
within a critical period ( 3 years) to aid the
survival of the infant.
- Bowlby saw it as an evolutionary
device, where emotioanl bonds
develop to help protect infants
from predators
- this is where an attachment is formed
within a critical period ( 3 years) to aid the
survival of the infant.
- social releasers - allows species to interact with their caregiver,
facilitating the attachment process e.g. crying to get attention
- Monotrophic bonding - infants form one
bond, bowlby says it is naturally the
mother who the child shares their bond
with.
- internal working model - this early attachment sets a template for
relationships and attachments later on in life such as adult
realtionships
- evalutation
- Pros
- stimulated more
research in the area
- lots of evidence to support aspects
of this hypothesis
- his ideas have been applied to a lot of
practical uses such as child care
- stimulated more
research in the area
- cons
- the whole hypothesis is based
on imprinting od birds and other
precoial species
- Shaffer and Emerson (1964) have proven that
children can form multiple attachments, so
monotrophic bonds are not correct
- there is a lot of emphasis on the mothers bond, it is not taken
into account the father will form a bond. this is very
representative of the times this hypothesis were made as it was
when women were first and foremost house wives and mothers
- the whole hypothesis is based
on imprinting od birds and other
precoial species
- Pros
