Apparently bowlby's monotropic theory may come up as a 12 marker but because it's a new spec it's hard to predict.

Do wee need to know research methods? Because my teachers were saying that they were likely to as some on the sign test.

Yes!!!
Research methods will come on paper 1 but not extensively.
There will be a whole section is research methods on paper 2.
The sine test is new for this spec so yeah it may come up

As is the role of the father in attatchments so that may come up too.

:smile:
Ok thanks that makes sense now! :biggrin:

Also attachment influence on adult relationships is likely to come up (according to my teacher).

As its a new spec it should be quite low as we have less resources than last year. Although best to assume 80% A 70% B etc

Hazan and Schafer haha he love quiz one also its worth having a look at Myron-Wilson and Smith 1998, they looked into bullying and whether its affected by attachment types.

My textbook says shaver

I searched their study and it says shaver

I'm so confused right now :redface:

Sorry my teacher gave us the APFC for this study she previously used as she found it applicable, it wont be in the books.

They tested 196 children from a South Each London primary school by assessing attachment types, childs perception of parenting style and then examined the child for involement in bullying using a participants role scale. (children identify peers as a bully, involved in bullying or victim). Securely atached children were unlikely to be involved at all, insecure- avoident were most likely to be victims and insecure- resistent were most likely to be bullies. They concluded that insecurely attached children were more likely to be apart of negative peer interactions.

It's unlikely to be a question but works for an evaluation or supporting evidense, sorry to confuse you by randomly springing in a random study haha.
