Cultural variations in attachment, Evaluation - Coggle Diagram

Evaluation
:( Samples unrepresentative of culture: key study compared countries not cultures, many cultures in one country so may be overrepresentative.
Analysis by Van Ijzendoorn and Sagi found attachment types in Tokyo (urban) were similar to Western studies, but more rural study over represented insecure resistant.
Comparisons between countries have little meaning, cultures need to be specified.
:( Method of assessment is biased: etic, cultural universals and emic, cultural uniqueness. Strange Situation designed by American researcher based on British theory: Imposed etic
In Germany, resisting when reunited and not showing stranger or separation anxiety is not seen as insecure attachment, but as being independent.
:) Large samples: combining studies gives large sample, good internal validity
