THEORIES OF ATTATCHMENT
BOWLBY
the attachment the mother forms with the child influences the way the child is able to build attachments with others
suggests we formed attachments for survival purposes, said we are born with innate social releases that help form attachments with our caregiver (eg. crying when they want attention or need something)
attachments are adaptive, parent will feed and protect them until their old enough to do it themselves
'critical period' that we have to form an attachment in the first 2 years because we are farming our internal working model (mental framework from all our future relationships)
during the critical period we will only form one primary figure which is called monotropic attatchment - monotropy
A02 - doesnt acknowledge individual differences, based on Western ideas of attatchment - collectivist cultures are surrounded by more people so it might vary
A02 - very deterministic, first 2 years shape rest of their lives, no control
