ATTACHMENT SUMMARIES
CAREGIVER-INFANT INTERACTIONS
RECIPROCITY - takes turns as in a conversation (Jaffe et al)
BRAZELTON- mother anticipates infant signals, basis of attachment.
INTERACTIONAL SYNCHRONY- coordinated behaviour, mirror
MELTZOFF AND MOORE- 3 day old babies imitate mothers
PIAGET- behaviour is pseudo-imitation (operant conditioning)
MURRAY AND TREVARTHEN- infant distress if no response, supports innateness
EVALUATION
Testing infant behaviour is difficult as they are in consonant motion.
Failure to replicate Meltzoff and Moore eg Marian et al (live vs tapped interactions
Intentionally supported - no response to inanimate object (Anravanel and DeYong)
FURTHER EVALUATION
Individual differences- security of attachment associated with interactional synchrony (Isabella et al)
'Like me' hypothesis (Meltzoff) - interactional synchrony leads to Theory of Mind
THE DEVELOPMENT OF ATTACHMENT
Schaffer and Emerson studied 60 infants and mothers from Glasgow
STAGE 2 beginnings of attachment
STAGE 3 specific attachment
STAGE 1 indiscriminate attachments
STAGE 4 multiple attachments
The role of the father - changing social practices: increased exposure might lead to primary attachments
