- 1What was Schaffer and Emerson's procedure?They observed 60 babies from a working class area of Glasgow every 4 weeks for the first year and then again at 18 months.
They measured strength of attachment in terms of, Separation anxiety and Stranger anxiety. - 2What did Schaffer and Emerson find?The first specific attachment was formed by 50% of infants between 25 and 32 weeks
Intensity peaked in the first month following the onset of first attachment
Multiple attachments began soon after the first attachment had been formed
In 39% of cases the people who spent the most time with the infant was not the moth, who was still the main attachment figure. - 3Describe the Asocial stage of attachment.Starts from birth to six weeks, the infant smile and cry but not directed at any specific individual
- 4Describe the indiscriminate attachmentThis is from 6 weeks to 7 month of age and the infant starts to seek attention from different individuals
- 5Describe Specific Attachments.This is between 7 and 11 months of age. The infant should have a strong attachment to one individual and good attachments to others often follow
- 6Describe Multiple attachmentFrom 11 months on the infant has lots of definite attachment, but none as strong as the primary attachment.
- 7Briefly describe Bowlby's theory of attachment.Bowlby claims that attachment is innate and adaptive. We are all born with an inherited need form attachments and this is to help us survive.
- 8Name the seven key aspects to Bowlby's theory.Social Releasers
Safe Base
Internal Working Model
Continuity Model
The Critical Period
Monotropy
Maternal Deprivation - 9What is the internal working model?The early attachment acts as a blueprint for later relationships
- 10What is the continuity hypothesis?The blue print (from the internal working model) lasts a lifetime.
- 11What is Monotropy?The idea that the child forms one main attachments with a primary caregiver, usually the mother.
- 12What is maternal deprivation?When the child is deprived of an attachment figure the consequences are dire and possibly irreversible
- 13Describe Zimmerman et al's study and why it DOESN'T support Bowlby's theory.Zimmerman studied 44 children in Germany when they were between 12 & 18 months to see their initial attachment types and then again at 16 years focussing on their relationship with their parents. Any significant events were also recorded. They found that continuity may only apply when serious life events do not have an impact on the child.
