Psychology AQA paper 1- revision

Yes please

Basically,

Asocial (0-3 Months) = Infants are attracted to all humans.

Indiscriminate ( 3-8 Months)= Discrimination occurs but strangers are still smiled at.

Discriminate (8 + Months)= Specific attachments formed and stranger anxiety grows.

Multiple (9 Months onwards)= Multiple attachments start to form.

Well basically
Asocial stage (0-6 weeks)
This stage is where the baby does not show difference between humans and objects both produce favourable reaciton such as smiling.

Indiscriminate attachment ( 6weeks - 7montsh)
This is where the infants indiscriminately enjoy human company and most babies respond equally to any caregiver. Also after 3 months the baby does show distress if the human doesn't interact with them.

Specific Attachment (7months- 9months)
This is where the baby shows favor over one person. It shows fear of strangers (stranger fear) and unhappiness when separated from a special person (separation anxiety). Studies have shown that the baby attaches primarly to the mother (65%) and fathers were 3% but a joint attachment was 30%.

Multiple Attachment (10months onwards)
The study showed that the majority of babies attached to other people one month after primary attachment. By 18 months the majority of infants have form multiple attachments. These were formed with people who were most reciprocal.

Hope that helps xx

My teacher has always taught us that with the types of attachment that the percentages are:
70% secure
20% insecure avoidant
and 10% insecure resistant

but I've seen a lot of people saying 70% secure and 15% for the other two, does this make any difference in the exam?

Is it alright if I leave out dates? Like just saying 'Sherif' without the (1935) after it?

I used 3 textbooks with my students, 1 says 70, 15, 15 and two say 70, 20 15.

Your choice.

Yes that's fine.
You wouldn't get a mark for only putting down the date with no content.

In my text book it says in British children, 60-75% are secure, 20-25% are insecure-avoidant and 3% are insecure-resistant. This is quite different from everyone else's which is worrying to me :/ Unless everyone else's figures are for children worldwide, and mine is just for British children?

I'm using the green haired girl book.

That book helps ALOT of people, and don't worry about the stats, there are many...millions of us sitting the exam, we're not bound to put the same stats down.

Just as long as it's a realistic stat, it's okay.👍🏾

Guys...for the Green haired book there is barely anything about fathers...what would you do if a 12 marker came about it? TAHST WOULD BE THE WORST CASE SCENARIO, SO IF FATHER DOES COME UP, REMEMBER ME SILENTLY DYING DURING THE EXAM!!! Please give me some info abotu fatther if you could.

ALSO, the green book Bucharest EI study is wrong, accoridng to my teacher, look at the official webste for the study where it has the correct one


ps sorry about the poor typing i am trying to revise harddd at the same time

In my book (Green haired girl) it says the role of the father is important in child development but in a ifferent way to the Mother. Grossman carried out a longitudinal study looking at both parents behaviour and its relationship to childrens attachment into their teens. Quality of infant attachment with the Mother, but not Father, was related to childrens attachments in adolescence, suggesting Father attachment was less important.

However, the quality of fathers play was related to quality of adolescent attachment, suggesting fathers have a different role in attachment - One to do with play and stimulation, and less to do with nurturing.

An evaluation point is if Fathers have a distinct role, why aren't children without Fathers any different? Grossman found they are important, however Macallum and Golombok found children growing up in single parent or same sex families don't develop any differently from children growing up in two parent heterosexual families. This would suggest the Father is not important in attachment.

Hope this helps
