secure attachment

what did this study reveal about intra-cultural differences?
the assumption that all children from a certain culture are raised the same way is an oversimplification as intra-cultural variation was 1.5 times grater than inter-culture variation.
17 of 25
why was this?
within one culture there rare many subcultures
18 of 25
where was the lowest proportion of securely attached infants found and what was the percentage?
china - 50%
19 of 25
where was the highest proportion of securely attached infants found and what was the percentage?
britain and sweden - 75%

how has this study used imposed etic and what does it mean?
it uses a measuring technique developed in one culture to study another - it means that the measuring technique is not valid.

what 2 things did Van Ijzendoorn and Kroonenberg want to investigate?
1. whether cross-cultural differences in attachment do exist, 2. whether there are intra-cultural differences in attachment
