In my dream my girlfriend and I were in our apartment, and for some reason we were focused on a gas stove. We were trying to cook but could not get the stove to stop leaking gas. We began hearing loud noises, as if something was walking around in our house. It got very cold and all of a sudden a random golde...

Pen Name: ALS I was with two friends on a college campus, which didn't look like CMU. We were really hungry and we were looking for food when a guy invites us into his house to eat with him and some other people. I then realize that the guy is really drunk. His friends forced me and my friends to turn away fro...

Pen Name: Allison Wonderland I was doing a lab for a high school biology class with friends. We were sitting on an incredibly high ledge above an ocean and a massive tidal wave came.

Children with better bonds at a young age with their parents will tend to develop stronger bonds with their friends. However, I could refute this statement with my own hypothesis. Children with more distant relationships with parents at a young age may tend towards stronger bonds with their friend...

I think it that the attachment style depends on the parenting style. I believe that the attachment style of a child can be an indicator of future lifestyle not because of the attachment style itself, but rather because of the reasons that attachment styles are formed. It has been shown that children o...

The textbook argues that children with a secure attachment are more likely to show positive emotions and have positive relationships with others. Another influence that may affect the outcome of a child's social interactions is the environment. The child can be cared for and developed a secur...

I think that Attachment creates positive role models in a child's life. If a child has someone to look up to, then that child has something that they must strive for in order to become a "successful" person. Not necessarily in wealth, but in terms of being a human being. If a person has someon...

102intro · 102intro

Studies show that secure attachment tends to be related to a child's future well-being but they generally do not prove a direct casual relationship. Other factors like heredity(nature) or the environment(nurture) could also be crucial in producing secure attachment and a better future well-be...

pen name: blueberries1984 Another variable that must be considered in tending to have a higher well-being later in life is social interactions with peers. I think that a child can have a secure attachment with the mother or both parents and if he or she does not have a positive environment among his or...

102intro · 102intro

I think an important factor that could influence attachments would be either a genetic or psychological disorder. For a family that has a child with mental retardation, sometimes it doesn't matter how caring and attentive the parents are; the child still won't be able to form a secure attachment. I...

Although the possibilities of unforeseen circumstances always remain throughout any individual's life, the generally accepted notion is that a better upbringing, and thus heightened attachment to one's parents - meaning an early childhood with attentive, present, and loving parents - res...

102intro · 102intro

Although it is true that attachment at a young age and well-being later in life have a correlation, but the kinds of experience that a child goes through may have a huge affect. If they were to go through a traumatizing event, it can change their once sociable and secure lifestyle to a more vulnerable a...

Pen name: jawnyquest The book's argument that secure attachment is linked to a better quality of life later on is not completely founded. An alternative explanation could be that the child has a better quality of life later on simply because of the style of their upbringing. If a child is always fed an...

I think that the amount of peer interaction a person has can be an alternative explanation. While a lot can be told about a young child by their interaction with their parents, similar can be said about the influence of how much and what type of interaction they have with their peers.

102intro · 102intro

Though all the evidence seems to point to secure attachment being associated with a better quality of life later on, it is not clear that it is this attachment that causes the outcome. An alternative explanation could be that children who are well fed and have a reliable source of food develop a sense o...

A person who has loving, caring and attentive parents may do better later on in life as he/she has been raised in a secure, casing manner. If the parents were careless and irresponsible, the child may not be that successful, because he/she will feel incompetent, and is more likely to do worse. Part of t...

As discussed in the reading, attachment at an early age has shown a correlation on the quality and type of person one may become as they grow older. The book focuses on the relationship between the caregiver and the infant or baby. Although, I do agree with the statement that a better relationship wit...

Two important parts that need to be taken into consideration when observing the relationship between a child's attachment and their future relationships and interactions with the world are social/environmental situation and the interaction they have with their peers. If a child is living in po...

I think a lot of the characteristics attributed to securely attached children are moreso reflections of their own genetics and innate personality than merely the relationship between infant and caregiver.

A person who has loving, caring and attentive parents may obviously do better later on in life as he/she is better equipped to handle human society in general.

I believe that a possible alternative explanation to this should include the child's environment and the way that these attachments are formed. For instance, children with diorced parents tend to grow up in separate homes. Because of this, the child may develop different expectations for future...

There appears to be a lot of confounding in the studies of well-being vs. attachment level.

I think another variable is having more than one person with whom the child is attached to. The book mentions how a child with a relationship with a caregiver who is attentive and responsive will expect all future relationships to be similarly gratifying. I believe that a child will have this expecta...

haku: One alternative explanation is that children who are more securely attatched are more likely to be in a better social class. This is not implying that all mid-upper class children are securely attatched, but that if a child is securely attatched, he is more likely to come from a better social ba...

One explanation for the correlation between attachment and well-being later in life could be parental upbringing. The reason that you can see people being well-off even if they had attachments which were less than beneficial is because proper parenting can deal with any kind of attachment. Impro...

One alternative explanation is that instead of attachment being an independent variable, it's a dependent variable based on some hereditary trait. The trait may lead to the child being more sociable which would affect both the attachment and later well-being in life. The chapter went over how b...
