BOWLBY SAID THAT IT IS THE FAILURE TO FORM AN ATTACHMENT DUE TO THE SEPARATION OF ONE'S MOTHER/CAREGIVER
HE CONDUCTED A STUDY IN ORDER TO INVESTIGATE ITS AFFECTS
1 of 3
THE 44 THEIVES
BOWLBY INVESTIGATED 88 CHILDREN IN A GUIDANCE CLINIC
44 OF THESE CHILDREN WERE RECOGNISED THIEVES
32% OF THESE HAD "AFFECTIONLESS PSYCHOPATHY"
AFFECTIONLESS PSYCHOPATH - THE INABILITY TO SHOW CONCERN OR AFFECTION FOR ANOTHER BEING
86% OF THE AFFECTIONLESS PSYCHOPATHS HAD EARLY PROLONGED SEPARATION FROM THEIR MOTHERS
IT SHOWS THAT MATERNAL DEPRIVATION CAN IMPACE EMOTIONAL & SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT
2 of 3
EVALUATION - WEAKNESSES
SCHAFER & EMERSON SAID THAT ONE COULD FORM MULTIPLE ATTACHMENTS , AND THEY WOULDNT BECOME ANTI-SOCIAL DUE TO MATERNAL DEPRIVATION. THE 2 CZECH & 6 HOLOGCAUST CHILDREN STUDIES SUPPORT THIS
RESEARCH WAS CORRELATIONAL SO IT IS HARD TO ESTABLISH IF THEIR MANNERISMS TRULY WERE DUE TO MATERNAL DEPRIVATION
WHEN SEPARATED IT IS UNKOWN WHAT CARE THEY EXPERIENCED. IT MAY HAVE BEEN THE TYPE OF CARE THEY GOT THAT CHARGED THEM, NOT THE SEPARATION
