1. An attachment figure is a caregiving figure who provides protection from danger or threat. During childhood, this is usually one's parents or parent figures. In adulthood this can be one’s spouse or partner.
True
False
2. Bowlby’s central proposition was that beginning in early infancy there is an innate component of the human mind -- called the “attachment behavioral system” -- that in effect asks the question: Is there an attachment figure always near, always attentive and perfectly responsive?
3. One argument that attachment is an independent phenonmenon is that it has been documented that there are the same rates of secure/insecure attachment across different cultures.
4. Mary Ainsworth was the American psychologist who brought Bowlby's theory to the United States and developed a method of assessing infant attachment. In her landmark book, Patterns of Attachment: A psychological study of the strange situation (1978), she describes this widely used protocol, the strange situation, and the patterns of secure and insecure attachment.
5. Originally three patterns were observed, secure, anxious avoidant, and anxious ambivalent, but later on Mary Main and Judith Solomon at the University of California in Berkeley described a fourth category, can not classify.
6. The disorganized children were particularly ambivalent upon reunion with their attachment figure, both approaching and avoiding contact.
7. Researchers have found that the attachment status of a prospective parent will predict the attachment status of their child to that parent, with as high as 69 percent predictability.
8. Changes in attachment status (discontinuity) can occur in either direction (secure to insecure, insecure to secure) from childhood into adulthood.
9. The AAI is the only method to assess adult attachment.
10. On the AAI, dismissing adults tend to have extremely long stories. Many recall detailed memories of childhood.
11. Preoccupied individuals tend to have extremely short stories, often claiming that they don't have memory for childhood experiences.
12. The Relationship Status Questionaire assesses attachment status by assessing the degree of anxiety and use of avoidance in interpersonal relationships.
13. Research has shown that attachment status can easily be accurately assessed through the clinical interview.
14. It is believed that attachment relationships help the infant's immature brain develop by using the mature functions of the parent’s brain to develop important capacities related to interpersonal functioning.
15. Many scientists believe that the limbic system is responsible for many attachment related capacities.
16. The Caregiving Behavioral System is the complementary system to the Attachment Behavioral System.
17. Assessing the degree of "Reflective Function" is another method of assessing attachment status.
18. According to Damasio, emotions and feelings are the same thing.
19. Earned secure occurs when a person is assessed as secure early in life, but becomes insecure because of intervening factors.
20. When considering the attachment and the neurobiological findings, it stands to reason that the therapist's attachment status will have an impact on their ability to help their patient move from insecure to more secure attachment.
