ANIMAL STUDIES
-
gosling - half with mum half incubated when hatched first thing they saw was Lorenz - they imprinted on him, even when the two groups were put back together they still maintained imprinted on either the mother or Lorenz ( they followed him around and some even slept at the foot of his bed).
long lasting effects = imprinting is irreversible and long lasting, it also had an impact on later mating experiences (sexual imprinting) they choose to mate with who they imprinted on.
research support - Guiton= studied chicks and sexual imprinting on a rubber glove and then later on they tried to mate with another rubber glove.
criticism = imprinting isn't irreversible, Hoffman and Guiton found that imprinting is reversible, after the chicks had tried to mate with the rubber glove, after spending time with their own species they did later on mate with them.
-
group of monkeys - all put into a cage with a wire monkey and a cloth monkey, half wire monkey had bottle and half cloth monkey had bottle. Monkeys would only go to wire monkey for food ( if they had it) before returning to the cloth monkey, when introduced to new scary stimuli or exploring new environment they would stick to cloth monkey. these findings suggest that it isn't food which attaches baby and mothers but instead is comfort.
long lasting affects - monkeys became socially abnormal once they were older -they froze or fled when introduced or approached by other monkeys- they were also sexually abnormal= they didn't show normal mating behaviour and when they had babies did now cradle their babies
generalising animal studies to human behaviour - human behaviours such as attachment are very complex, using animal studies to identify human attatchment is very different, it cannot be generalised to human behaviour. however hallows research is supported by Ainsworth and lorenzs research is supported by Bowlby, both of which use human research. ethical issues - the study created emotional distress to the monkeys and created long lasting effects leaving the monkeys with difficulties in socialising.
-
maternal deprivation =
Maternal deprivation occurs when the mother is not present in the infants life, they are deprived of the care from the mother figure.
bobbly suggested that maternal deprivation has long lasting affects - emotionless psychopathy meaning they will have no guilt or empathy and intellectual impairment
BOWLBYS STUDY - bowl interviews 44 adolescent thieves to identify the affects that maternal deprivation may have. 14/44 were effectionless psychopaths but out of those 14 only 12 had experienced maternal deprivation within the critical period and 5/14 had experienced it at some point in their life.
A03 - bias as bobbly carried ut the study himself, he would look out for signs of MD
LEWIS - replicated the study but with 500 young people who had a history of MD, this suggests that MD doesn't cause criminality
-
real world application- had a positive impact on how we thought about post war childrearing affects. visiting children in hospital was discouraged or even forbidden , major change in how children were looked after in hospitals
