Document Summary
Children"s temperament reflects their prevailing patterns of mood, activity and emotional responsiveness. Three different types of temperament: surgency or extraversion, negative affect or mood, effortful control. Interaction between temperament and socialization: goodness of fit. Harry harlow (1905-1981) conducted attachment experiments with baby rhesus monkeys. Attachment: the emotional bond linking an infant to a parent of caregiver. Stranger anxiety: between 6 and 8 months. Secure attachment: a pattern of infant-caregiver bonding in which children explore confidently and return to the parent or caregiver for reassurance. Insecure attachment: a pattern of infant-caregiver bonding that can take several forms but is generally characterized as less desirable for the child"s outcomes than secure attachment. Insecure attachment: avoidant : not distressed when the mother leaves and allowed to be comforted by stranger, anxious-ambivalent: child never comfortable even when parent around, disorganized: no consistent pattern of response. Authoritative: high parental support; high behavioral regulation.
