Document Summary
Initially observed infants in hospital settings: noticed that infants who did not receive regular care from an individual caregiver showed affect hunger , that is, the infants showed impoverished emotional development and a desire for affection (early on) Seeking security when scared goes to the comfort mother monkey. Spent all it"s time on the cloth mother. When you frighten the baby, it doesn"t go to the one that give him life (the one that feeds it) The need for contact being an overwhelmingly important variable. Phase 3 of attachment: clear-cut attachment (7-24 months): during this phase stranger and separation anxiety appear, the mother serves as a secure base from which the child can explore his/her environment, separation and stranger anxiety is actively protested. Phase 4 of attachment: goal-corrected partnership (2 yrs +): stranger and separation anxiety begin to diminish as a sense of independent autonomy develops, relationship becomes increasingly reciprocal (e. g. , negotiation, sharing)
