Evolutionary Theory of Attachment. (12mark) Attachment can be described using two theories‚ one being Bowlby’s attachment theory which is based on an evolutionary perspective. The theory suggests that evolution has produced a behaviour that is essential to the survival to allow the passing on of genes. An infant that keeps close to their mother is more likely to survive. The traits that lead to that attachment will be naturally selected. Bowlby has the idea that attachment has evolved and it is innate

Attachment theories on development John Bowlby John Bowlby believed that mental health and behavioral problems could be attributed to early childhood. Bowlby’s evolutionary theory of attachment suggests that children come into the world biologically pre-programmed to form attachments with others‚ because this will help them to survive. Bowlby’s studies in childhood development and "temperament" led him to the conclusion that a strong attachment to a caregiver provides a necessary sense of security

The journal article I chose relates back to our lesson regarding attachment. Attachment theory‚ according to Cozolino’s‚ Ways of Attaching‚ is defined as “a category of implicit social memory that reflects our early experience with caretakers”. A study was drawn to test if discrimination and prejudice against the LGB community had a negative impact on subjective attachment styles.
