Attachment: Bonds that Endure

An attachment is the tie or bond that is created between one person and another specific individual. Usually referred to as primary caregiver/parent.

John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth’s work showed us how important attachment was to an infant's development and their healthy relationship building later on in life.

Different types of attachments and their possible outcomes later in life:

Secure Attachment: Mildly protests mother’s departure. Seeks interaction upon her return and is easily comforted by her.

Securely attached infants and toddlers

happier , more social, more cooperative

Use mother as secure base for exploration

Have fewer negative emotions toward unfamiliar people

Have longer attention spans, are less impulsive, are better at solving problems

By age 5, are better liked by peers and teachers

Secure attachment is likely when:

The parent is sensitive to child’s needs, responsive to signals, engages in infant-caregiver play, not overly stressed.

Also when the infant is of an “easy” temperament.

These patterns are in response to Mary Ainsworth’s famous study, “The Strange Situation.” Here is a link to watch the study being conducted. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTsewNrHUHU&feature=related

Different types of attachments and their possible outcomes later in life:

Avoidant Attachment: Least distressed by mothers’ departure, ignore mother upon return

Outcomes are often negative

Resistant Attachment outcomes include dependence (especially for girls) or aggression (especially for boys)

These patterns are in response to Mary Ainsworth’s famous study, “The Strange Situation.” Here is a link to watch the study being conducted. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTsewNrHUHU&feature=related
