- Deprivation
- John case study
- In residential nursery for 9 days, staff had little time for him due to noisy/ demanding/ aggressive children, so his protests and anger were ignored
- His distressed worsened and he cried pitifully for days
- He began to refuse food/ wouldn't sleep and sobbed in despair
- He stopped wanting to be near the nurses and ignored his father on his visits
- When his mother returned he refused to look and her, rejected her comfort and showed anger towards her formonths
- PDD model
- 3) Detachment- the child is detached from surrounds, less distress, little interest in mother's return
- 2) Despair- total loss of hope, self rocking to comfort, little interest in surroundings
- 1) Protest- infant cries, appears panic stricken (Intense)
- Bowlby's 44 juvenile thieves
- 44 5-16 year old thieves all lived with parents, had been stealing, assessed for intelligence/ attitudes and mothers interviewed to find out character/ separation
- Control group of 44 non-delinquents who were emotionally maladjusted made - parents also interviewed
- 86% of affectionless psychopaths separated for 6 moths + , 17% of other thieves had separation, only 2/44 control group separated, 0 affectionless pyschopaths
- Evaluation
- John: : High mundane realism and ecological validity as it's a naturalistic observation (real life setting) - could argue the results can be applied to other similar real life situations
- Research has suggested that being separated does not lead to maladjusted. Children with TB (who spent time in hospital -experienced separation from their mothers vs normal peers -no difference in psychological assessment at 7 &14 years old between the two groups.
- 44 thieves: is correlational study so cannot argue cause and effect - could have experienced other deprivations so not necessarily maternal that causes problems
- John case study
