Document Summary
Present at birth: interest, distress, disgust and contentment. Emerge between 2 and 7 months: anger, sadness, joy, surprise, fear. In second year self-conscious emotions emerge: embarrassment, shame, guilt, envy, pride. Mother becomes secondary reinforcer: theories of attachment. Rhesus monkeys reared with surrogate mothers made of wire, one covered with soft cloth, one just wire. Monkeys fed by wire surrogate, fed by cloth surrogate: theories of attachment. Even if it was not the surrogate that fed them! Attachment must be based on more than feeding: a word about the readings. The harlow reading gives you a glimpse in the research process. He found different ways to explore attachment and what contributes to it. Consider how the idea of the surrogate mother occurred to harlow and what occurred in lab: theories of attachment. All species have built-in behaviours to foster attachment. Increase likelihood that infant will be cared for and eventually grow up to reproduce: attachment-related fears.
