49
Q

eval deterministm

A

The internal working model is also significantly deterministic as it believes that the behaviour in adult
relationships is pre-determined by childhood experiences and thus leaves no room for free will. It also does not
allow for the fact that some individuals do experience positive adult relationships despite being insecurely
attached in childhood which would show that these children have clearly emphasised their free will and worked
to develop healthy relationships instead of their fate having been determined by their childhood environment.

50
Q

research - validity issues

A

Research got validity issues
Self report techniques that are v reulalry used
Use of retrospective data
Most studies dont acc use the strange situation to assess infant parent attachment - but use interviews and questionaniers - and theyre often conducted years after infancy
This poses numerorus problems e.g self report techniques rely on pt being honest with researcehr but also having realistic view of their relationship with their parent /parent which is difficult to achieve

Youre asking someone q about something that happened years ago , gotta look back and try rremebr accuratley the nature of their attahcemnt to their parent - this relies on v accurate recollections and its not a very valid wy of collecting research -
Which decreases internal validity

51
Q

RESEARCH IS INCOLCUSIVE

A

So IWM predicts attachment type in infancy is usually the same as the one that characterises persons later relationships
However attachment research is inconclusive on this particular issue - youve got people like mccarthy who provide evidence to support IWM
Also got people like zimmerman who dont support it - assessed infants attachment type and adolescent attachments to parents and found there was very little relationship between infant and adolescent attachment
This is a problem as not what we expect if IWM was important in development and had a strong effect on later relationships
