| Harlow’s Wired Monkey Mothers

|
|
| Freud: babies attach to mothers because mothers feed them
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Monkey babes separated from mothers and reared under different conditions

| Video clip 1 infant spends more time with model-mom even if not fed
|

|

|
|
| Video clip 2 Infant use model-mom as refuge
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Video clip 3 Infant uses model-mom as secure base to explore

|
|
| Infants don’t love just because they are fed (Freud was wrong)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Rather, touch, “comfort”, matters
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Also, a comfortable mom allows the infant to explore

|
| Bowlby and the Secure Base
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Principle 1: Human infants are biologically predisposed to keep their caregivers close and, at the same time, to explore their environment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Principle 2: Caregivers must serve as “secure base” for infants to adequately develop
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Principle 3: A secure base allows a child to develop a solid WORKING MODEL for further relationships

| Ainsworth and the Strange Situation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| We can validly and reliably measure children’s attachment in the laboratory
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Insecurely attached children have caregivers that do not provide predictable and warm responses
|
|
|
|

|
| Guess the Attachment pattern
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Insecurely attached children are at risk of poor development even into adulthood

|
|
| Take notes and stop me during this video as it is directly related to tonight’s essay question
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Briefly: you will see several young children with....
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| And several mothers that are very frustrated
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| How is attachment theory used to diagnose and help solve these problems?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Are you convinced? What evidence confirms or disconfirms that attachment theory is relevant?
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
| Applied Essay and Discussion
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| In the video When the Bough Breaks you saw several young children with severe sleeping and/or eating problems. Briefly describe how the video uses attachment theory to understand these children’s behaviors and help reduce the problem. Then analyze the use of attachment theory. Are you convinced that these children had attachment problems and that these problems led to their behavior? Is there an alternative issue here? Discuss extensively, clearly, and persuasively why or why not.

|
|
| P.S. Are we not just “blaming mothers”?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Evaluation and Implication
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Early studies in Bavaria found higher proportion of avoidantly attached children than in the US. But this may be due to greater emphasis on independence
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| High proportion of insecurely attached children than in US in Japanese traditional families. Amae.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Are we blaming the mothers?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Does attachment pattern really reflect temperament rather than caregiver-child relations?
