@fryrsquared: I've obviously simplified the actual study! It's been replicated many times over but if you want to read the original: Attachment, exploration, and separation: Illustrated by the behavior of one-year-olds in a strange situation by M.D.S. Ainsworth and S. M. Bell (1970) or the book that came after: Patterns of attachment: a psychological study of the strange situation by M.D.S. Ainsworth, M.C. Blehar, E. Waters, and S. Wall (1978)
Also probably the most ethical psychology expirement of the 70s

What about baby #4, where mum leaves the room, and doesn’t come back?

there's a fourth attachment style called disordered which is a mixture of both anxious and avoidant 🤓

The study (and research) shows that we are not born with our attachment style. It is inprinted by the way we are raised and and can be unlearned

What about not caring your mum left and hardly noticing when they came back?

Yes, There’s soooo much evidence around this to back up how our relational patterns are formed in our early relationships. As a psychotherapist, I see it over and over. But like you say, good news is you can move towards more secure relationships.

This is mostly true but much of the style that develops is not innate, it’s impacted by how adults treat the child and whether they are anxious, avoidant, neglectful, or attentive.

We teach this at A level psychology - lots of Bowlby too and lots of issues with her study - but overall it remains quite predictive

Reminder. For a secure attachment- you only need to provide that secure parenting style 50% of the time. So don’t beat yourself up.

As former foster carers and adopters where children often don’t have those core relationships as babies we see how the lack of any attachment affects hugely as developing children and then when they become adults.

I'm sure on some base level there's default settings in our personalities from the moment we're born that can be influenced by experience and like you said self awareness but there will always be that default that exists in your brain... if that doesn't sound too much like nonsense

We studied that in Psychology 101. Really interesting phenomenon. I wonder how we evolved with such distinct responses

I got left alone a lot as a child (age 3 onwards)....and it didn't bother me at all. To this day my Mum still reminds me of how she once lost me in a shopping centre for 30 minutes when I was age 4...and when she found me I was just calmly reading prices of items on shelves I was tall enough to see...while she was having a hysterical crying breakdown 😂

Thanks for discussing this Hannah. I m a consultant clinical psychologist in NHS and these are really important and relevant for patient relationships with mental health teams and in therapy and also impact how well people respond to therapists and support.

I didn’t realise this wasn’t common knowledge 🧐 The relationship with our parents is the blueprint for everything that comes afterwards. In particular whatever happens in the first 2 years is most crucial.
