I do believe that people who have a stable childhood will grow up to have a stable adulthood. Childhood shapes an individual's character, and who they become is very similar to the same person they have always been. People don't change much throughout life, unless something traumatizing has happen...

I believe even if attachment plays a large role in determining the well being of a child's future life, there are too many confounding variables for such a claim to be true. How well a child will perform really depends on his experiences. Therefore, any bad influences, such as a violent family, friend...

It is possible that being good at adjusting later in life might not be caused by attachment but rather simply by a person's disposition/temperament. Having a positive mindset is very powerful when it comes to dealing with difficult situations. If asked to judge one's well-being, whether or not on...

I think one factor that could influence our attachment and our well-being are the circumstances we live in or if a person we feel securely attached to passes away or leaves. Some children may feel secure at home, but once they leave home they feel as if they cannot trust or relate to anyone else so they ar...

I believe that even though studies and evidence show that a healthy childhood attachment will eventually yield well-being and a healthy personal life and mental health in adulthood, it is too broad of a claim to say that it must be true. There are far too many variables and unpredictable changes and e...

It is possible to gather that wellbeing later in life is often associated with people who possess healthy attachment to their mothers as babies. It is not, however, proven that a being a securely attached baby causes a better quality of life later on.This is due to the fact that there are underlying va...

I think how a person is attached while they are young is extremely important later on in life. Although the problems can be overcome, I feel that children who are attached to their mothers in a positive way will be more successful later on in life. It just makes sense when you think about growing up. If yo...

Well, I feel like it is true for the most part, that people who grow up with a secure attachment have happy fulfilling lives and vise-versa, however I feel like this secure attachment does not have to come from a parent in order to lead to happiness. For example, if someone's parent passes away when the c...

I think that although a secure attachment in childhood may be a strong indicator of a successful and secure life as an adult, as always their can be confounding variables. There are many situations in which traumatic events alter people's lives as adults regardless of how happy and settled their ch...

Pen Name: B302 Studies have shown that people who tend to have one type of attachment also tend to have higher well-being later in life.

People who tend to have one type of attachment also tend to have higher well being in life. While it's true that the early attachment a person has as a child is a big influence on later adjustment, it isn't the only thing affects later adjustment. Many other factors can affect later adjustment, such as l...

I think this explanation of cause and effect, the attachment gained from primary caregiver being the IV, and the well being in life being the DV, I think this neglects to acknowledge individual behaviors of a child. Some children may be naturally shy, or naturally outgoing, regardless of initial re...

When looking at these experiments, one would consider the security of the child/caregiver attachment the independant variable, while the outcome later on in life is the dependant variable. With only these two variables at play, one could alter the independant variable and judge its causation...

The Infamous says: A largely important alternative to later adjustment for infants is parenthood.

My earliest memory, I think, was from when I was exactly 4 years old. The only reason I remember my age at the time, is because I soon after remember wanting to "skip" 5 years old, and go right to 6 years old (and got quite upset when my mother wouldn't let me!). I remember dropping toys out of the...
