Document Summary
Dark side of forgiveness: for low power people, forgiveness may involve submission, recall, agreeableness and submissiveness, results: high forgiveness = stable levels of aggression, but, consider the graphs, perhaps not a dark side, attachment style. Contingencies learned in childhood persist into adulthood: recall: resilient mice pups. Harlow"s cloth and metallic mommies: harlow was a colleague of maslow for a time at wisconsin-madison, hierarchy of needs, low exploration, clingy, socially stunted, poor mothers. Within the strange situation: secure: caregivers respond quickly & reliably to distress. Infant becomes relaxed and resumes exploring/playing when caregiver returns to room: anxious: caregivers not consistently reliable (sometimes intrusive, sometimes rejecting) Infant remains angry and resistant when caregiver returns, and is reluctant to return to playing: avoidant: caregivers consistently unreliable (reject infants) I find it relatively easy to get close to others and am comfortable depending on them and having them depend on me.
