  3. Essential Task 4-6: Outline • Attachment • Parenting styles

  4. Origins of Attachment Harlow (1971) showed that infants bond with surrogate mothers because of bodily contact and not because of nourishment. Harlow Primate Laboratory, University of Wisconsin

  5. Attachment Differences Placed in a strange situation, 60% of children express secure attachment, i.e., they explore their environment happily in the presence of their mothers. When their mother leave, they show distress. The other 30% show insecure attachment. These children cling to their mothers or caregivers and are less likely to explore the environment.

  6. Secure Attachment Relaxed and attentive caregiving becomes the backbone of secure attachment. Berry Hewlett

  7. Insecure Attachment Harlow’s studies showed that monkeys experience great anxiety if their terry-cloth mother is removed. Harlow Primate Laboratory, University of Wisconsin

  8. Deprivation of Attachment What happens when circumstances prevent a child from forming attachments? In such circumstances children become: • Withdrawn • Frightened • Unable to develop speech

  9. Prolonged Deprivation If parental or caregiving support is deprived for an extended period of time, children are at risk for physical, psychological, and social problems, including alterations in brain serotonin levels.

  10. Child-Rearing Practices

  11. Authoritative Parenting Authoritative parenting correlates with social competence — other factors like common genes may lead to an easy-going temperament and may invoke an authoritative parenting style.
