Bailey at Al found that
Out of 99 mother-intant pairs (one year olds), mothers with poor attachments to their own mothers had similarly poor attachment to their own children
Bailey did what with who?
99 mother-(1 year old) infants
. Evaluated the attachment types of the mothers with their mothers

That there’s a relationship between the quality of your primary attachment and the one you make with your baby, giving the montropic theory credence
Bick (in relation to Ainsworth) found what?
The inter-rater reliability was very good, they found the agreement of the attachment types of infants in replications was 94%

Cultural variations that bring Aintsworth’s strange situation under scrutiny.
Mothers are very rarely separated in Japan so separation anxiety is inevitable

Securely attached children were rated most highly for social competence compared to those identified as having other attachment types.
Why might the Minnestota studies results be unsurprising
Reciprocity I’m secure attachments encourages interaction and makes it a positive experience
Bailey found what?
That mothers who had secure attachments with their own mothers similarly had secure attachments with their own children
Zimmerman however found that contrary to the monotropic theory…
When they looked at the attachment quality of young infants and adolescents, they found very little relationship between them.
