  2. Bowlby’sInternal Working Model theory • Attachment between mother and child is a basic biological need. • It is the first and most important schema the child forms for viewing -oneself -others -how one relates to others.

Ainsworth (1967) Ugandan Strange Situation study • 28 unweaned babies were observed every 2 weeks for 2 hours at a time for 9 months. • Ainsworth used an interpreter as well as various rating scales to measure maternal sensitivity. • The strange situation was observed and interviews were conducted.

  5. Findings Categorization of children correlated significantly with ratings of mother’s sensitivity: Avoidant- Child appears indifferent when mother leaves and avoids mother when she comes back. Securely attached-Child is upset when mother leaves and is happy to see her again. Ambivalent- Child is upset when mother leaves, and when mother comes back the child seeks comfort but also rejects it.
