Summary of theorists

SUMMARY OF THEORISTS

Ainsworth looks at attachment theory in three different classifications. The attachment theory brings out the difference in children’s behaviors at different ages. This is based on how they have been brought up by their parents. Ainsworth has been known best for developing Strange Situation as a tool for research and assessment. Ainsworth classified the theory of attachment into three different categories that were based on the observations she made during the Strange Situation experiment; Secure attachment looks at the environment where the children have the presence of their mothers. In such instances, the theory states ...

Attachment Theory

John Bowlby developed the attachment theory and was it to describe attachment as, “a lasting psychological connectedness between human beings” (Cherry, 2016). Attachment theory is focused on the bonds and relationships between people, especially long-term relationships that include relationships such as parent-child and romantic partners. The earliest behavioural theories claimed that attachment is a learned behavior. There are four specific styles of attachment styles; secure attachment, fearful attachment, preoccupied attachment, and dismissive attachment. This paper will analyse two of these styles.

Education has done little to improve social mobility. To what extent does this statement provide an accurate reflection of the role of education in contemporary Britain?

Introduction

The impact of education on equal opportunities and social mobility has been an important concern thoroughly explored in the field of sociology. An early British sociologist of education, Olive Banks, systematically tackled the issue of how an educational institution that establish hierarchy in schools in accordance to a hierarchical labour market could bring about 'parity of prestige' or, in simple term, equal opportunity (Irvin, 2008). There are conclusive sociological findings which reveal how ...

In the 1960s, following John Bolby’s article The Psychoanalytic Study of the Child, many psychoanalytic figures criticised his work. They claimed that attachment theory was “mechanic, nondynamic, and explicated according to thorough misunderstandings of psychoanalytic theory” (Fonagy, 2001, page 1, p2). Critiques felt that Bowlby treated his human subjects like animals, and used too many labels and categories when reporting on experiment results. When examining the attachment theory today and, in particular, Mary Ainsworth’s Strange Situation experiment, it does appear that the critiques’ points were valid. The personalities and behaviours of human beings are extremely diverse, ...
