The functions of attachment have often been contested and challenged over time, with the field radicalising over the years. Bowlby suggested that attachment in infants is due to the evolutionary pressures put on them; this essentially means the need to carry on our genetic line. When some young animals are born they seek proximity to their mother, they do this as a form of security, mainly to protect themselves from predators. In doing so, they are more likely to reach adulthood, and become able

Scale of Affectional Attachment (CSAA): A measure of Hirschi’s construct of Attachment in a variety of close interpersonal relationships as a source of social control” by Alison Marganiski exams a measure of affectional attachment as a criminological construct based on Hirschi’s (1969) theory of social control. Marganiski suggest a new standardised measure designed to assess affectional attachment in interpersonal relationships in a simple manner. In recognition of attachment as a dynamic concept

Bowlby’s monotropic theory [12 marks] Bowlby’s monotropic theory of attachment after extensive research suggests that emotional bonds had evolutionary functions as he thought it helped a child’s survival. Attachment behaviours in both babies and their caregivers have evolved through natural selection, so the way they behave causes the infants to be biologically programmed with innate behaviours that ensures that attachment does occur. These innate species-specific attachment behaviours are social

statement in the context of relevant developmental theory. | In this essay I am going to explain the concept of ‘sensitive mothering’ and how it is essential to the social and emotional development of each child. I will discuss this statement in the context of relevant developmental theory. I will discuss the concepts of ‘attachment theory’ encompassing ‘internal working model’ (Bowlbey, cited in Smith, Cowie, Blades, 2003, p98) and quality attachment of John Bowlby. I will also link this explanation

produced this theory on the bases of importance in the maternal care and the key ideas of Ethologist. He thought he can combine these two to come up with a big theory based on evolutionary perspective. He thought that ethology (study animals in their natural habitat) has lot to do and in common with maternal care. He found that some species of birds when first hatched follow the first moving object they see and keep follow it after that. This is called Imprinting. The idea of the theory imposes that

In this essay I will explain Bowlby’s theory of attachment were Bowlby argues that a baby goes through a certain amount of stages to form an attachment with its primary caregiver and then multiple attachment. I will explain the stages throughout my essay. To begin, Bowlby argued that attachment is a type of mechanism that ensures the survival of the child. In other words, forming a bond with someone, often the child’s primary care giver is the most essential in order to survive. According to Bowlby

There are many explanations for attachment such as learning theory and evolutionary perspective (Bowlby). Discuss one explanation of attachment (8 marks) A01 – Description (4 marks) Bowlby’s attachment theory states that attachment is adaptive and innate (genetic). Infants elicit care giving and become attached to those individuals who respond sensitively to their signals (social releasers). The relationship with the primary attachment figure (monotropy) acts like a framework for future adult relationships
