- Avoidant: More in Germany
- Resistant: More in Japan
- Individualistic
- Personal independence/achievement valued
- North America/Germany
- Children make own choices, have more freedom
- Grossman and Grossman found half of German sample insecure/avoidant
- Collectivist
- High degree of interdependance
- Japan, China and Israel
- Children rarely separated from mother, choices benefit family
- Takahashi- 32% Japanese children resistant, ** had to be stopped
- Evaluation
