- Aim
- Findings
- Mother main attachment for 65% at 18 months old
- Father main attachment for 3% by 18 months
- 31% had multiple attachments by 18 months old
- Conclusions
- Attachments form with those that respond to baby's signals, not just those that feed and change
- Early attachments act as template for later ones
- Evaluation
- Externally valid - findings can be applied to real world - help parents to understand how babies learn
- Internally valid - found out what researchers aimed to
- Generalisable - used babies from range of ages, but were all Glasweigan so can't be generalised to everyone (cultural bias)
- Longitudinal stuidy makes it reliable - can be repeated by many psychologists at any time
