I think that several factors affect the attachment and lifestyle of a child. A child raised in a calm home with a comfortable life, they will look to reproduce that in their own adult lives. Similarly, they will model their own lives, whether consciously or subconsciously, after the lives of their pa...

I think a very important aspect of child development would be the environment that the parents foster for their child. Without parents that set a good example that allows kids to feel safe and nurtured the child will not be able to grow up with the ability to trust and all obstacles that they will eventu...

I think that a big part of development is in the environment of the child at the time they are developing. A child who is in an environment where there is a lot of noise and stress around his/her, they will not be as calm maybe as other babies who live in a calmer environment. Also, if the living areas are c...

Children with secure attachments likely have responsible and well put together parents. This correlates to a sound financial background, a low exposure to drugs, good schooling, responsible friends, etc. A responsible family leads to a responsible lifestyle. Since there is little conflict in...

i believe that the environment the child grows up has a lot to do with later life behaviors. when a child is raised in a good, loving environment, he or she will be more likely to be empathetic and loving. on the other hand, if a child grows up in a chaotic environment where not all of his or her needs are me...

The type of attachment as a young child does not have to be the cause of well- being later on in life . Instead, the attachment style and well-being could both be by products of a healthy relationship. So the healthy relationship allows for the child to be attached securely and lends to a higher well-...

I feel like one major influencing factor that could help determine a child's attachment would be the presence of a sibling. If a sibling, especially in relatively young children, is present, I would assume that the children would fight for the attention of one parent or another, thus creating eithe...

This ties in with nature vs. nurture theories because as a person grows up if the parents could perhaps notice an undesired temperament and would in turn work harder to for example make the baby more sociable and securely attached; and vice versa

102intro · 102intro

The book already mentioned that there was a correlation between categories of attachment in children, and economic background. I think that the largest influence in a child's development (and further success) would be the caregiver's ability to provide a child with the opportunity to achieve h...

One factor that can influence a child's attachment early in life is the family's stability and presence of both parents continually throughout a child's life. The more constant the relationships in early life, the more important relationships will be to the person later in life. They will also exp...

102intro · 102intro

I think one of the most obvious reasons behind this relationship is the effort of the parents to build a supportive atmosphere for the child, instead of a negligent one. If the parent is a supportive caregiver, the efforts he or she put into raising her child will likely lead to the child having less soc...

Well-being could be associated with the extent to which a child has developed interpersonal skills. A child with a secure attachment is more likely to develop better social skill from increased interaction with his caregiver and thus be more be better off later in life. Thus, social skills woul...

102intro · 102intro

One confound that could be overlooked when it comes to attachment style and well being later in life is socioeconomic status of the parents. This would greatly influence how they interacted with their child. Perhaps people in a middle class family have to work together to keep the family going, but a...

102intro · 102intro

As important as attachment seems, I think that other factors might be more influential on human development. I see the argument of nature vs. nurture being very applicable here because to me the things that we grow up learning and the feelings and attitudes we naturally develop can really affect the...

102intro · 102intro

I think that secure attachment styles lead to better well-being later in life because the nurturing that the child recives from the parents makes the child happier growing up, which translates to being happier in general. Feeling love from the parents will allow the child to give that same love to ot...

I believe that the Indepentent variable of the child affects their development through their presence. Often, A limited amount of nurturing in the yearsof toddler-hood seems to create almost a lack of independence in a child.

Several things contribute to a child's form of attachment. While it is important that a primary caregiver does what is appropriate to form a connection with his/her child, the formation of a secure attachment does not guarantee that the child will be successful later in life. External environm...

102intro · 102intro

I dont believe that one certain type of attachment will cause a higher well-being later in life. Although it does play an important part there are other equally if not more important factors that play a role into the social development and habits of a child. For example the economic status of his upbri...

Another possible explanation as to why such a variable as attachment style and upbringing may influence an individual in their adult life is the circumstances and surroundings under which the child was raised. The child could have been raised in an environment where he or she had a lot of family and f...

I think the independent variable is the quality of the parents. The book notes a correlation between good, stable parents (ie not those who undernourish their children or have anxiety or other mental disorders) and infants who form secure attachments. In addition, good parents are much more likel...

There could be a very strong correlation among the amount of time a mother and a father each spend with their child(ren) and how secure the child(ren) feel. It is possible that not having been taken care of enough as a child can lead to people losing focus of what is important in life and eventually downg...

Hi everyone! A confounding factor I think might be at play in this correlation is that parents who help their kids to form secure attachment styles are generally pretty loving, stable parents. This would mean that they also would care for their kids in other aspects, like making sure they have adequa...

102intro · 102intro

The correlation between attachment style and well-being in later life could also be caused by attachment style reinforcement. Instead of encouraging a more secure attachment style in their child, parents could be "giving in to" their child's resistant or avoidant behavior. If the...

The argument given in the textbook is that children form an "internal working model" of human interactions based on their attachment to their caregiver. Children with a secure attachment to their caregiver learn that such relationships are gratifying and expect similar gratificati...

Of course, a positive parental relationship will help a person mature into a more secure adult. However, a good attachment style is not the only variable factor that contributes to an individuals life. Peer influence, economic background, cultural innuendos, and many other factors can mold and t...

Pen name: Sunny Rather than being attached to the mother, it could just be that through the attachment, the child is learning how to interact with the people around them and important aspects of social relationships. This could be independent of emotional attachment to the mother.

In addition to attachment, an individuals familial income, personal income, and external environment are contributing factors to future well-being. These factors have the potential to create pressuring forces, such as achieving higher education, informed world-views, and competitive re...

Income can be an underlying variable that impacts how well of someone is in the future. Usually secure attachment is seen in families with at least a decent amount of income. Therefore, these families are able to afford college for their children which will probably lead to the children's success la...
