(TCOs 3 & 5) Describe where the United States st&s in relation to other countries in terms of securely attached infants. Give your informed & educated opinion as to why the U.S. st&s where it does statistically. (Points : 10) In the United States research has indicated that once an infant has become securely attached to an adult that they are more likely to be a securely attached child. Although when looking at the Strange Situation experiment, it is shown that no two children are alike. For example one child that separates from their caregiver may cry, whereas another securely attached infant may not. Each child has the own response to the situation. In the Stranger situation experiment, a child between ages 12 & 18 months is observed in multiple scenarios. These consist of, with the mother, with the mother & a stranger, alone with a stranger, completely alone for a few minutes, reunited with their mother, alone again, with the stranger again, & finally reunited with their mother. The experiment must be done in this order & how the child responds in each situation is what classifies the child with a secure attachment, an insecure/avoidant attachment, insecure/ambivalent attachment, & an insecure/disorganized attachment. Child attachment has also been researched by looking at two-parent homes & families with different ethnicity. Statistics show us that a little over 60% of all children live with both of their biological parents. Now does this mean that a child with a two-parent household won't be a securely attached infant? No, because each child responds differently & no two children are the same when looked at through the Stranger Situation experiment. Reference: References: Boyd, Denise, Helen Bee.
