Internal Working ModelCurrent LectureNature & Quality of AttachmentMary Ainsworth – “The Strange Situation”- Secure Attachment (Type B) – 60-65% - when mom leaves the baby shows distress, when mom returns baby calms and goes back to equilibrium and plays in environment- Insecure Avoidant (Type A) – Doesn’t notice mom is gone, no signs of distress – keeps playing with toys, however internally heart rate goes up- Insecure-Ambivalent (Type C) – 10-15% - inconsistent pattern, seek the parent but still angry wont be calmed by the parent Later a woman named Mary Main created a fourth level of attachment…- Insecure –Disorganized- babies seem disorganized & disoriented when reunited with their mothers after a separationParent’s Role in Infant’s Attachment DevelopmentThese notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.- Secure attachment depends on close contact between parents and children 4 features of mother’s behavior associated with quality of attachment - Sensitive & Responsive - Behavior guided by baby’s cues- Accepting of baby & minimal frustration – not allow stress to interfere with your responses- Physically & Psychologically Available – their physical proximity is good for their attachment because it helps with the connection also easier to read cuesParent Characteristics For Attachment – - Avoidant – when interacting on daisy basis – lack responsiveness, reject closeness, non responsive to stress, baby learns to close myself off from parent and not think of parentsas a place to go from comfort, can form attachment to others (lack secure base)- Ambivalent – parent’s response is inconsistent - sometimes lovingly response, sometimes not, high in anxiety, babies have concluded that they have an inconsistent patters with parent and are confused at what response they will get from the parent (lack secure base)- Disorganized – trauma in home life disrupts attachment =, abuse, afraid – parent might have done something that makes child afraid, parent is scared of child, child doesn’t see parent as base but as a source of fearo Reactive/attachment disorders stem from this Attachment in Family & Community Context - The Relationship between mother and father – stronger marriages lead to secure attachment, there is less stress, if we are more likely to hold certain qualities that are for a good marriage will trickle down to your parenting - Socioeconomic Status – low economic high levels of stress, less educated, high risk factors - Social Support in the Community – if we feel have something to support us then we havehigher confidence to be a good parent, protective factors - something that you can reachout to the make you feel the negatives aren’t detrimental (parents, church) “ Just talking to someone”  3 most common environmental factors that influence attachmentInternal Working Model – our self – concept/ how we perceive if were worthy or lovableAdult Attachment Interview (Mary Main) – how individuals interpret their childhood and how it plays a role in their parenting- Autonomous – good/bad associations, objective & realistic, were able to e childhood relationships, were able to reflect and still able to value children and create attachment style - Dismissing – avoid more intimate relationship, couldn’t really recall childhood and when they do seem very idealistic, reluctant to acknowledge attachments – avoidant attachment, - feel as though “I” am loyal but others are not - Preoccupied – difficult to remember/ disorganized and when they did remember their responses tended to be negative, can’t remember coherent pattern, therefore will give bad pattern, They see themselves as unlovable but others as lovable - Earned Secure – had insecure attachment but later had someone to change their internal working model to secure - Stability of attachment has been validated in secure and insecure childreno 6-7 years – 68-90% o 20 years 70%Is change in attachment impossible?- If parenting behaviors or family circumstances changes, then attachment classification can
