Sample text

The way in which the individual responds to and handles this distress is taken to reveal the strategy that he or she typically uses to regulate arousal and raised affect. The response also shows whether the self is seen by the individual as worthy and effective, and whether other people are seen as caring and available. Thus, the measures allow investigators to determine the individual's internal working model and attachment style. We shall briefly outline four attachment assessment procedures: Ainsworth's Strange Situation for infant attachments; projective story-telling for young school-age children; Main and Goldwyn's Adult Attachment Interview; and George and Solomon's Caregiving Interview.

Securely attached children approach their carers directly and positively, knowing that their distress and upset will be recognised and responded to unconditionally with comfort and understanding. A sense of trust in others and a recognition of the value of cooperative behaviour soon develop. 2. Children who show avoidant attachment patterns experience their parents as rejecting, interfering and controlling. If these children display distress, it seems to annoy or agitate their caregiver. The result is a rebuff or an aggressive attempt to control or deny the children's attachment behaviour.

Across cultures, a smiling baby tends to attract interest, promote social interaction and elicit positive responses from adults. It is also the case that attuned caregiving releases socially sophisticated behaviour in babies. 46 Secure and autonomous patterns 47 Mothers of secure infants are rated at the positive end of 'responsivity'. Most of the time, they are sensitive, accepting, cooperative, available, accessible and dependable. Mothers tend to be good at reading their children's signals. There is synchrony between mothers and their infants, involving well-timed, reciprocal, rewarding interactions.
