Document Summary
Attachment styles (in us: secure attachment (70 percent) o explore when with mother, distressed when she leaves, happy to see mother return. Insecure /avoidant attachment (20 percent) o explore when with mother, is not upset when she leaves, avoid mother when she returns. Insecure/resistant attachment (10 percent) o less likely to explore overall, is the most distressed when mother leaves, stay close to mother when she returns, but may act angry. Evidence of early iwms: secure surprised when caregiver unresponsive. Infants have learned when to expect: generalize to abstract caregivers . What might be the consequences for the child: things to think about: o internal working models o evolutionary arguments o cultural differences. Is it about all mothers: the other great apes have altricial babies too, but mothers monopolize the babies. Humans are different: we are cooperative breeders, share parenting role with others, even let complete strangers hold our babies. Infants can form attachment bonds to multiple caregivers.
