Cards (4)

  • What did Grossman do?
    • studied German infants
  • What did Grossman find?
    • found that these infants were more likely to be found as insecurely attached (insecure avoidant)
  • What is the reason for Grossman's results?
    • the German cultural norm is for children and parents to keep space (infant = more independent) so in the experiment they do not engage in proximity-seeking behaviour
  • What does Grossman conclude?
    • that we do get cultural variations in attachment
    • that the strange situation doesn't mean the same thing in different cultures
