Attachment A01 Studies of cultural variations Key study: van Ijzendoorn IJzendoorn and Kroonenberg (1988) studied the proportions of secure, insecure-avoidant and insecure-resistant attachments across countries, as well as within them CULTURAL VARIATIONS IN ATTACHMENT Procedure found 32 studies where the strange situation had been used across 8 countries, using 1,990 children. Data was meta-analysed Findings - most common in all countries was secure-attachment, and insecure-resistant was least common overall. Variations between results were 150% greater within countries than across different countries Other studies of cultural variations Conclusions An Italian study - Simonella et el. (2014) found a lower rate of secure attachment than many studies. Suggests this is because women work longer hours and use more childcare A Korean study - Jin et al. (2012) found similar rates of insecure and secure babies, but higher rates of insecure-resistant and only one insecure-avoidant A03 Paper 1 Secure attachment is the most common across many cultures Cultural practices have an influence on attachment type Evaluation Large samples Large samples increase internal validity by reducing impact of anomalous results Samples tend to be unrepresentative of culture Comparisons between countries may have little impact, as each country likely has multiple cultures Method of assessment is biased Strange situation was designed by an American based on a British theory - these theories may not be able to be applied to other cultures E.g.

Alternative transcript:
see insecure-attachment as independence, and not avoidance Alternative explanation for cultural similarity Small cross-cultural differences may reflect the effects of the mass media Attachment Paper 1 The strange situation lacks validity Kagan et al. (1986) suggested attachment is more related to temperament than relationship with primary attachment figure, meaning strange situation may be measuring anxiety rather than attachment
