2. what is the name of the first stage? | asocial stage |
3. what is the name of the second stage? | indiscriminate stage |
4. what is the name of the third stage? | specific attachment stage |
5. what is the name of the fourth stage? | multiple attachments stage |
6. how long is the asocial stage? | 0-6 weeks |
7. how long is the indiscriminate stage? | up to 7/8 months |
8. how long is the specific attachment stage? | around 7 months |
9. how long is the multiple attachments stage? | from 9 months onwards |
10. describe the antisocial stage | treat human and objects similarly |
11. describe the indiscriminate stage | prefer humans over objects and recognise and prefer familiar adults |
12. describe the specific attachment stage | stranger anxiety and separation anxiety specific attachment to primary attachment figure (65% cases mother) |
13. describe the multiple attachments stage | multiple attachments spend time regularly with secondary attachments reduce stranger anxiety |
14. why is it difficult to study the asocial stage? | babies at a young age have poor coordination so hard to make judgements when there isn't much observable behaviour so not reliable |
15. how does Schaffer and Emerson ignore cultural variations? | Sagi found infants in individualistic cultures were twice as close with their mothers compared to collectivist cultures as they were cared for in the community together so attachments are culturally specific thus not generalisable |
16. what percentage of infants had their mother as the primary attachment figure? | 65% |
17. how are there good implications for society? | only 65% have mother as primary attachment figure so encourages mothers to work but still form good attachments and even if it's not the mother then good attachments can still form |
18. how is there high external validity? | parents report in own homes so infant is not likely to be affected by demand characteristics |
