I think that environment has a huge effect on how a child develops, so environment could be the lurking variable that affects both of them.

Many families today are not "typical." Children as a result can extensively interact with many siblings, extended families, friends, and/or neighbors. All of these interactions can have a huge impact on how secure the child feels. For example, if the child is constantly competing wit...

So, twins often grow up to be very similar if personality and wellbing regardless of how they were raised differently. This leeads me to believe that genetics can play an even bigger roll in a childs future well being than attetchment style parenting.

102intro · 102intro

Attachment is obviously important when it comes to predicting the behavior of a person in the future. But I think it's not only the people that the child becomes attached to, but it's also the inanimate objects that the child is attached to. Let's say there's a 10 month child who is constantly brought i...

I think a variable that may not have been explored is the setting in which the engagement takes place. If some of the kids were exposed to these games in a chaotic setting their reaction would be skewed rather than someone who was exposed to these in a quiet living room. I'm sure that the environment and t...

I think that whether a child has a sibiling or not has a lot to do with how they behave later in life. I heard before that first born tends to be more leader like, extrovert, and confident. The younger tends to be supportive, and smart. When they grow up, the first born is likely to become a leader, and face a...

102intro · 102intro

There is difficulty establishing the idea that attachment could influence future well being as fact because there are so many other factors that need to be taken into account as to what makes someone successful. Furthermore, what can be considered well-being is too dependent upon the person in cha...

102intro · 102intro

The culutres in which parents and children are raised might act as a third variable in the development of attachment. If parents are immigrants but their child is not, differences in culture and language might affect attachment. Even when parents and children are from the same country, generation...

102intro · 102intro

All types of children grow up in different environments. For instance, if a child is raised in a large family, there are many instances which one or more older sibling can act in part as the role of a child's mother. In this case, a child who is being raised by another child can either be entirely dependan...

102intro · 102intro

I think that another factor that influences well-being later in life is the effect that classmates and friends have on the developing child. The peers that the child hangs out with can determine the personality of the child. For example, if the child spends time with aggressive friends, he will most...

Another variable that might influence attachment and well-being later in life is the amount of time that an infant is exposed to someone- not even the "caring" that the caretaker necessarily does. Stockholm Syndrome may be an easy way to think about it; people form attachments due to bas...

102intro · 102intro

I think a possible variable is the culture of the family. Various cultures differ in their expectations of individuals--some cultures may be more open and others may be more strict. I think this would affect the way parents treat their children. It does not mean they would be different in their affec...

I kind of wonder how having siblings would change the dynamic. In fighting for attention from the mother a child may not have a secure relationship with the mother, but this child may grow up with a competitive edge, or with an expectation for what failure is like, so they maybe have a better awareness o...

The role that sibilings play in development is definitely a force worth considering. The amount of time and interaction we experience with our siblings is considerable--it has to have some sort of impact on whether or not we tend to be more or less secure.

102intro · 102intro

I think some factors are the economic status of the family and the environment where the child grows up in. If the parents have to work all the time to make a living, they tend to spend less time with their child. By spending less time with their child, they cannot create as strong of a relationship. The en...

102intro · 102intro

I think one variable that has not beeen considered is the role that other siblings play in shaping the development of eachother. Having a good relationship or a bad one with a sibling can shape a lot of developmental traits; some positive and some negative. Also the father figure is another quintesse...

I think the future of a child cannot be only dependent on the attachment style of the baby. The cause and effect story explains that attachment styles can change later in life. This shows that attachment is dependent on other factors. These may be environmental factors like the economic situation...

I know that often, siblings can have an almost as important role in raising a child as a parent. I personally had a large impact on my baby sister's childhood and I know that I influenced her a lot. I wonder what sort of an impact that will have on her future relationships with people. -sk

I have often wondered about the correlation between a father daughter relationship and the daughter's future relationship with her husband. After understanding a bit about attachement, I feel that if separation anxiety exists within a father daughter relationship, then it this will probably t...

I think that the possibility that parents coming from a better economic status might have the free time and resources to attend to their children more, leading to secure attachment, and be able to provide better for their children, allowing them a better education and quality of life later on. It is p...

I think that siblings can have a big effect on how a child develops into later life. The child is not only interacting with the caregiver or parent on a regular basis. The child is also interacting with other children every day. This has a large effect on how a person learns to deal with situations and...

102intro · 102intro

I think that siblings would play an important role in developing a secure attachment style. Especially if the kids are close enough in age, they would definitely interract with one another long before they began to interract with children from outside families. Another thing is dealing with only c...

102intro · 102intro

Another factor that might affect the relationship between attachment style and future well-being is the multitide to which a child attempts to develop an original attachment. With only one attentive mother, the subject of attachment is relatively clear. However, in cases where a child may be tem...

102intro · 102intro

While children's attachment styles may influence certain babies' adulthood, attachment style by itself cannot completely determine a child's future. Although there may be many factors that can affect the child later in life, the overall environment that the in which the child grows up is the mos...

A variable that would affect the IV and DV is a mental/learning disorder. Something such as Autism would impede the child's ability to develop same levels of attatchment that most children would.

A major alternative variable would be the environment in which the child was raised in. For example, a child raised in a rough neighborhood with little to eat and terrible living conditions will fare worse than a child raised in a wealthy neighborhood with no food or financial issues. Another variab...

Attachment seems to only address the effect of a child's relationship with his or her parent. I think a child's development could also be strongly effected by other family members like siblings. The bond between siblings would create an interesting dynamic that could change a child's personality...

I think that a third variable that would influence both a child's attachment and their well-being later in life is an innate personality characterisitc. As the nature vs. nurture debate concludes, personalities and beliefs are influenced both by environment, and by their own genetics. Therefor...

I think a major factor is the economic status of the child's family. A family that has to work 3+ jobs just to get by with low wages and poor hours is not going to create an enviornment conducive to healthy development. On the other hand, if a family is more well off, a child will form a close relationship wi...

Another variable that could be influencing the independent variable of the type of attachment develops in childhood could be situational factors such as the community the child was raised in, socioeconomic factors and the culture of the family. This would in part effect the dependent variable wh...
