infants‚ at six months‚ still showed one primary attachment. Another study about culture variation was Fox (1977). he studied infants raised on Israeli kibbutzim who spent most of their time being cared for in a children’s home by nurses. Then using Ainsworth experiment‚ the strange situation‚ it was tested with nurse and the mother. The conclusion was that the infants were equally attached to both caregivers except in terms of reunion behaviour‚ where they showed greater attachment to their mothers

Harlow Provided a new understanding of human behavior and development through studies of social behavior of monkeys. Theory His theory hinged on the universal need for contact. Harlow’s famous wire/cloth "mother" monkey studies demonstrated that the need for affection created a stronger bond between mother and infant than did physical needs (food).

their caregiver. Psychologist Mary Ainsworth sought to expound on Bowlby’s attachment theory by creating a test designed to observe the behaviors of children in different situations. Ainsworth devised the Strange Situation test‚ which placed young children in situations where the primary caregiver left and a stranger was introduced (Belsky‚ 2016). The purpose of the test was to assess the strength and type of attachment to the caregiver (Belsky‚ 2016). Bowlby and Ainsworth both shared the idea that

Attachment is the most critical thing that happens in infancy other than meeting the baby’s physical needs.

Based on these observations‚ Ainsworth concluded that there were three major styles of attachment: secure attachment‚ ambivalent-insecure
