Attachment Theory Based On Alex And Lucy
The attachment over time between an infant and their primary caregiver is an emotional bond that creates a strong connection. This means that, Babies at birth are physically dependent on the adults who feed, care and protect them. By the way, child is considered infant under the age of 4 years. Bowlby was the first to determine the importance of this connection between a baby and a mother but that does not mean that the attachment cannot be with someone else. Attachment is seen as a long-term benefit
It is one of the major perspectives in psychology that involves studying the brain, immune system, nervous system, and genetics. Therefore, this is why some people would have brown, blue, black eyes and other physical characteristics such as hair colour, hair type, skin types and height. Sometimes people can inherit certain diseases, such as Huntington's disease or cystic fibrosis (just to name a few) if they have the defective genes. Even some behaviours can be passed down and amended over time, mentioned in Charles’ Darwin’s theory of natural selection in 1859. Therefore, nurture factors like environment as well as their childhood experiences, regardless of their upbringing, social relationships and surrounding culture. In the past, the psychologist has often adopted a one-sided approach to the debate ‘relative to nature versus nurture’ when it came to biological and behaviourism. For example, biological psychology tended to emphasize the importance of genetics and biological influences of nature. On the other hand, behaviourism psychologist argued that it was the impact of the environment on which he or she was nurtured that influenced the behaviour of the
When this does not happen, a negative result of the development of the child results in a decrease in the intelligence of children. Therefore this leads to depression, aggression, delinquency and psychopathy and no affection. The critical period is the first years of life during the development of the language, between 2 and 5 years old. The attachment styles he found were safe attachment, anxious-avoidant attachment of insecurity, insecure (ambivalent) attachment resistant to anxiety, and disorganized / disoriented attachment. These attachment styles contrast were traditional approaches to attachment that he believed that the purpose of attachment was the fulfilment of needs, especially feeding. Other theoretical attachments support Bowlby’s theory who are Harlow and Lorenz. Their studies also suggest that children are biologically pre-programmed to form attachments to survive and lead a healthy life. Harlow's study shows that the monkey preferred to attach to comfort given not the food provided. The model was designed to look like real monkeys. One of each model monkey would give food while the other comfort the real monkey with fabric cloth. The monkey spent more time with the model with the fabric, which gave it comfort rather than the one that would feed it with a bottle. With respect to Lorenz, his attachment study suggests that
