Document Summary
Present at birth: interest, distress, disgust and contentment. In second year self-conscious emotions emerge: embarrassment, shame, guilt, envy, pride. Social referencing use others" emotions as a guide. Comes later; toddlers are not very empathetic because they need to develop their sense of self and others. Multiple attachments (by 18 weeks 6/7 months) months) Rhesus monkeys reared with surrogate mothers made of wire, one covered with soft cloth, one just wire. Monkeys fed by wire surrogate, fed by cloth surrogate. Even if it was not the surrogate that fed them! Attachment must be based on more than feeding. The harlow reading gives you a glimpse in the research process. He found different ways to explore attachment and what contributes to it. Consider how the idea of the surrogate mother occurred to. All species have built-in behaviours to foster attachment. Increase likelihood that infant will be cared for and eventually grow up to reproduce.
