Simonella et al (2014)

Aim: To replicate the  Strange Situation.

Method: Conducted a study in Italy to see whether the proportions of babies of different attachment types matched those found in previous studies. Researchers assessed 76, 12-month-olds using strange situation.

Results: Researchers found 50% were secure with 36% insecure-avoidant. This is a lower rate of attachment that has been found in many studies. Researchers suggest this is because more mothers of young children are now working long hours and use professional childcare.

Conclusion: Findings suggest cultural changes make dramatic differences to patterns of secure and insecure attachment.

R: The study is replicated using S S controls and methods. :) However, the method of assessment is biased. The anglo American theories & assessment can’t be applied to other cultures. The application of other cultures is known as imposed cultural universal & cultural uniqueness. :(

E: S S ethical rules were flexible in 1969 meaning the 2014 replication are more strict and have rigid ethical guidelines. It could be even more unethical for insecure resistant children specifically since it causes psychological harm. :(
