- attachment
- definition:
- an emotional bond between two people in which each seeks closeness and feels more secure when in the presence of the attachment figure
- why do we get attached?:
- according to Schaffer & Emmerson's (1964) study, an infant formed am attachment bond to a care-giver when the care-giver was responsive to their needs.
- the study concluded that it did not solely rely on time spent with the infant
- according to Schaffer & Emmerson's (1964) study, an infant formed am attachment bond to a care-giver when the care-giver was responsive to their needs.
- who do we become attached to?:
- development of attachment is a result of interaction between 2 people and the desire to seek proximity due to feeling a sense of security
- in Schaffer & Emmerson's study, they found that 65% of the babies they observed had a primary attachment to their mothers
- key words:
- reciprocity
- both the care-giver and the infant being able to produce responses to each other due to interaction
- this influences a child's physical, social and cognitive development
- research study:
- Jaffe et al. found that from birth, babies move in a rhythm when interacting with adults, almost as if they were taking turn in a conversation
- research study:
- this influences a child's physical, social and cognitive development
- both the care-giver and the infant being able to produce responses to each other due to interaction
- interactional synchrony
- a rhythmic interaction requiring mutual focus, reciprocity and mirroring of emotion or behaviour, creating a form of turn-taking
- example: a care-giver who laughs in response to their infants giggling sound and tickles them
- research study:
- Heimann showed that infants who demonstrate a lot of imitation from birth onwards have been found to have a better quality of realtionship at 3 months
- it is very difficult to be certain when these observations are taking place as the patterns of interaction are so slight and it can be hard to observe a situation from an infants perspective
- Isabella et al. found that infants with secure attachments exhibited interactional synchrony during their first year of life
