The strange situation is an experiment designed around the natural settings of the home and involves the mother/caregiver, a baby age range from 9-18 months and a stranger. The Baby and mother are place in an environment very similar to their living room, field with numerous toys for which the baby can play and distract itself from unpleasant encounters if it needs too. The mother encourages here baby to play with the toys and actively interacts with her.

The mother tries to redirect the child to the ball but the baby stills stares at the lady, ignoring the mother’s encouragement to play with the …show more content…
Around 10-15% of children display this type of attachment. Actually in some ways this type of attachment sounds like my niece Emerson, but she does not act ambivalent or angry and resists physical contact upon reunion with my sister. However, she does not explore and is in extreme distress in the company of a stranger otherwise known as my other sister her aunt, who she sees frequently. I suppose Emerson is just insecure without the resistant part because in the reunion phase she behaves like a secure type attachment child. A fourth type is the Disorganized/Disoriented Attachment this category of attachment is open-ended meaning that many types of attachment might fall in this category. These infants unlike the others display no coping mechanisms. Around 5-10% of children display this type of attachment. It is the least common type of
Reading about Saltaman’s own personal experience was something that I could relate to very well myself. Although I do not have any kids, I do worry about how my child will turn out when it comes down to the attachment type. I absolutely cannot wait until I have children of my own and have a mother/daughter (or son) relationship that I never had. But when I start to learn about the diverse types and the science behind it, and the fact that attachment types are often passed down

In inhibited RAD, children are more likely to resist comfort or affection, remain detached from their emotions, and to withdraw from others. Symptoms of disinhibited RAD are lack of caring or concern for the self, lack of emotional response, and disinterest in who they surround themselves with (Wood, 2005). Generally though, children with reactive attachment disorder are often more hostile, argumentative, indifferent about pain (others or their own), impulsive, and resistant to signs of love or affection. This disorder is most effectively and frequently treated through the attempted repair of the relationship between the child and the caregiver, often through the use of
After the child ventured away from his grandmother, someone tried to interact with the child, but had no success; he shied away. However, minutes later the child slowly returned to the person that tried to interact with him and started to initiate interaction with the person. Once the child initiated interaction, he started to express his verbal skills (which are very well developed for a two-year old). The child wanted to play on the play-set (a swing and slide) in the yard so; he pointed to the play-set and said “let’s go there”. He quickly ran to the play-set in complete excitement with a huge smile on face. Once there, he hesitated before he started playing. The child seemed a little stressed in the beginning of his play; his posture and gestures were very stiff. After playing for about thirty minutes, the child returned to the same area that his
After being home with Peyton for three months, returning to work was our family’s only option financially speaking, and we decided to hire a babysitter for Peyton. Peyton established an interest in her surroundings. This is known as the differentiation theory when infants actively search for invariant features of their environment (Harris, Sara). She smiles at familiar people, toys and animals and lead to develop many really cute habits. Peyton established a new focus; she concentrated her eyes on me and spends plenty of time studying my face and the face of anyone who comes close to her. This is an example of the pre attachment phase, which is when a newborn engages in close contact with humans who comfort them.
Thirdly, these attachments had no differences in any way. The children behave in the same way around each person it was attached to. With these findings Schaffer and Emerson concluded that attachments are most possible to be produced with those people who have a profound care for the baby’s needs, which they named this the sensitive responsiveness.
The claimant is a 25-year-old female who was injured in an industrial-related incident on 01/23/16. She presented with a work-related low back pain associated with a right lower extremity radiculopathy. The request is for Methyprednisolone. However, .there was no mention that the claimant had inflammation. Further, this medication was not part of her medication regimen nor part of the treatment plan. Also, as per cited guidelines, oral corticosteroids are “not recommended for chronic pain.
Forming attachments in life is something that is beneficial for us all. However, there are many in the world that have grown up without being able to form attachments with others properly. Children in foster homes have harder times forming attachments. This is partly because they are in and out of foster care homes, or they may get close to another child in the home and that child leaves. No matter the reason, they do not have the best attachment history. According to the DSM-IV, reactive attachment disorder is defined as result of social neglect or other situations that limit a young child’s opportunity to form selective attachments. (DSM IV). Attachment is formed in the beginning stages of life to a child. When the child does not have a
Admittedly, many psychologists define attachment as an enduring, affectionate bond that one person forms between himself and another person throughout life. Mary Ainsworth provided the most famous research: strange situation, offering explanations of individual differences in attachment. However, in this Adult Attachment Style questionnaire that I took, I found many factors relevant to attachment as defined in the textbook. For example, in the textbook, it defines attachment based on Ainsworth research, the strange situation by observing attachment forms between mother and infants. They are described in four attachment styles: securely attached, insecure avoidant, insecure resistant, and insecure disorganized.
The observation took place indoor at my relative 's house. I went to observe the child on Tuesday at 12:00 in the morning. When you first enter the house and walk through the hallway, you will see that the kitchen is on the right side and the dining table on the left. After passing the kitchen and dining table, you will see that the living room connects to the back-yard. The living room 's walls had multiple picture frames and decoration pieces hanging along with a brown color clock. Moreover, the living room had dark green sofa 's, television, a coffee table and variety of toys that include a white writing board, a box of legos, soft toys, barbie dolls, kitchen sets, play house, books, ball, building blocks and a blue color table along with
Historically, reactive attachment disorder (RAD) is considered to be a rare disorder (American Academy of Children and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP), 2011). Clinical disorders of attachment did not appear in the DSM until the third edition, published in 1980 (Zeanah et al., 2004). In the fourth edition of the DSM (text revision), reactive attachment disorder was described from two different perspectives: inhibited form and disinhibited form. It was suggested that the different forms of...
The procedure, known as the ‘Strange Situation’, was conducted by observing the behavior of the infant in a series of eight episodes lasting approximately 3 minutes each:
Introduction: The topic of interest for this paper the attachments that one child will have in comparison to his or her sibling(s). Attachment is a key part in the development of a child as it affects the child’s emotional development and decisions in life. With a study done by Mary Ainsworth, three main attachment styles were identified as Secure Attachment, Avoidant Attachment, and Resistant Attachment. There is a critical period of time in which the parents can make an attachment with their children. A strong secure attachment is extremely important for the future outcome of a child and thus it’s important to research further into this topic.
During the first few stages of both theories, we see challenges in the development of the child and we also see challenges that a child might face during some, if not all forms of attachment theory. For example, a parent ignoring the child and speaking to them in a negative manner during insecure-avoidant attachment can be challenging for a child and lead to insecurities and the feeling of not being loved and/or wanted. Additionally, the theme of independence is seen throughout both theories and can also be related specifically to insecure-avoidant attachment where the child does not focus his or her attention on the parents but instead looks to the outside world for assistance. Both theories, as well as attachment theory, has an impact on childhood
I chose to relate this theory because I feel like it can be present in most every child as well as parent. Based on the age and actions of the child, I would place her in the stage of autonomy vs. shame and doubt. This stage typically occurs between the ages of two and three years old, which matches the age of the young girl. In addition, I looked at the actions of the girl and there was one example that I feel matched what typically happens during this stage. When the parent first saw the play area for the kids, they decided to let their daughter play. They took her to the small table in the area and sat down next to her. The little girl got mad and said that she did not want her parents help. She wanted to do it alone. The parents eventually decided to go back and sit at the table while she played. Their table was right next to the toy areas, and they could keep a good eye on her while she played. They likely decided to do this to give their daughter more independence which will make her feel like she can do things on her own without the help of her parents. This theory also relates to the parents that I observed. Since they appear to be in their thirties, they would be in the generativity vs. stagnation stage of development. They clearly have a child and are focused on caring for others, specifically caring for their daughter. This stage was
