- Shaffer's Stages of Attachment
- Based on good research
- naturalistic experiment
- participants observed in natural environment
- babies were observed in their homes
- allows babies to act as they normally would, increasing the validity of the theory
- It is a longitudinal study
- participants are observed over a long time
- the babies were observed over a year
- babies can show Schaffer's stages which increases validity
- naturalistic experiment
- A problem with the research is hard to generalise the results
- All families were middle class, Glaswegians in England
- findings cant be generalised to the upper class, eg people with nannies
- different cultures take care of kids in different ways
- kids are being brought up differently from 50 years ago
- the study is limited, which translates to Schaffer's theory
- A problem with the Asocial stage
- babies have poor co-ordination and cant move
- it is hard to make judgements on behaviour because there is none
- means a baby could have social cognitions and feelings however there is no reliable evidense
- Based on good research
