I can really understand the argument proposed in the text book, and the correlations seem to be very impressive. A secure attachment will essentially lead to positive outcomes, in terms of creating and maintaining friends and even being a leader in a social environment. However, I think that the en...

pn: tla girl The theory that people who tend to have secure attachment will later on in life have a higher rate of well-being, leaves out too many unaccounted for factors. For example, the environment in which a child is raised would play a huge role in this. A child can develop a secure attachment wit...

I do think that the quality of the attachment with the primary caregiver is important in a child's future well-being, it is not the only factor. Such an idea, I think, is correct in acknowledging the significance of the primary caregiver, but the attachment with that individual is not the only factor...

The argument in the text book that secure attachments promotes positive relationship later on in life is reasonable and understandable. There is a logical correlation in these two factors. A child that is securely attached to his mother will develop a personality that will contribute to a fulfill...

I think viewing "secure attachment" and "positive outcome" as separate effects of the "sensitive caregiver" is misleading. This model suggests does not place enough emphasis on the correlation between the two effects. First, it suggests that a secure attachm...

This study follows the basic rule of experiments: correlation does not imply causation. Additionally, this study was an observational study, not an experiment, and we cannot draw cause and effect conclusions from experiments, thus we cannot claim that one type of attachment causes a higher wel...

Although I do believe that one's attachment to a primary care-giver early on in life directly correlates to ones well-being later in life, it is not the only factor that affects one's future life quality.

The book does make sense in that a child's secure or unsecure attachment can have an impact on the child's life in the future. However, just because the child had a secure attachment, concluding that the outcome at the very end will be good is not provable. The events in the future that can have dramatic...

I think that the development of an internal working model plays a role in social relationships later on in life because it provides examples and expectations of what relationships should be.

Although it is very likely to be true that strong and secure attachment help you lead a better life I would like to emphasize their coexistence more than the potential causual relationship.

While the quality of attachment to the mother or primary caregiver probably has a huge effect on long-term wellbeing, it is certainly not the only factor.

Many studies do show that the well-being of a person is correlated to the kind of attachment that person had as a child.

An alternative explanation that would influence both the IV and DV would be the way the child is raised and how fortunate and supportive the family is. Both the attachment type and well-being later in life would be heavily dependent on this so this is a definite alternative explanation.
