Preattachment (birth - 6 weeks)
Attachment in the making (6 wks-8mos)
Clear cut attachment (6mos-24mos)
Reciprocal Relationship
Term
B/A Preattachment
Definition

Term
B/A Attachment in the Making
Definition
Infant begins to respond to the actions of the mother and begins to trust that his/her needs will be met.

Adult encourages exploration but sets limits that assure the child of care and concern.
Term
B/A Reciprocal Relationship
Definition
The child shows autonomy and a strong sense of self assuring in exploring.

The result of attachment sequence is
Definition
is that the infant develops an internal working model and has generalized attachment representations

internal working model
Definition
result of the attachment sequence, becomes aspect of personality, implications for the formation of other relationships.

Research designed to learn what infants and children bring to social and emotional interactions as a result of their initial temperment.
Term
What were the three major questions of interest in the NY longitudinal study?
Definition
1. Possible to find a set of consistent dimensions of temperament?
2. How do children with varied temperaments fare in interaction with parents, that is 'goodness of fit"
3. Is temperament a stable characteristic?
Term
What are the nine dimensions found to express individual behavioral responsiveness differences?

• Theory used in school settings and through dissemination of Carey Scales of Temperament- enables temperament to be evaluated reliably on the relevant dimensions without using an extensive interview approach.
Term
Bandura's social cognitive/self efficacy theory
Definition
through studies of children's aggressive bx, Bandura identified role of observational learning from models as a major factor in social-emotional development.
Term
Bandura, What do models do?

influence children’s development by teaching novel behaviors, encouraging or discouraging expression of various behaviors, and eliciting similar but not identical behaviors.

children who observed aggressive conditions (live models, film, or cartoon characters) exhibited more aggression that controls who did not see such models.
