Exam feedback • Look at the mark scheme in the back of your booklets. • Can you see why you got the mark you received?
Task • Fill in the gaps in the answer provided to give you a 6/6 example to the question.
Task • Discuss with your partner: • In what situations might an infant’s attachment be disrupted or never form?
PDD model • PROTEST – child cries and calls for its mother, panic is normal, can last hours or days • DESPAIR – child becomes apathetic, continue to cry occasionally and call for mother • DETACHMENT – child cries less, onlookers may think child is getting over separation anxiety but when mother returns may show little interest/be angry or push her away
Robertson and Robertson (1969) A: to investigate what happened when infants experience disruption of attachment P: studied John when he was separated from his mother for 9 days when she was in hospital having a second baby. John was placed in a residential nursery and his father visited regularly
F: for the first 2 days, John seemed ok. He then tried (unsuccessfully) to get attention from nurses and his behaviour deteriorated. He spent lots of time crying and eventually, after a week, sat silently. On the 9th day when his mother returned, he screamed and tried to get away from her.
C: disruption of attachment can affect a child for up to months afterwards
Limitations of R and R’s study • Research only based on small number of case studies of unique individuals – we cannot generalise these findings to all infants • Barrett (1997) – PDD model only found in insecurely attached infants; securely attached cope much better • PDD not inevitable, effects can be small
Strengths • Practical applications?
Task – 30 minutes • Go to the Psychology website, download the document entitled ‘Bowlby’s 44 thieves’ and fill in the APFC in your booklet
Plenary • Colour the 4 boxes according to the study they represent.
Homework • Fill in the conclusions to the studies on long-term disruption to attachment. • Make your own revision notes (to hand in next lesson) on the PDD model, Robertson and Robertson’s study and Bowlby’s 44 thieves study.
