Though there is often a correlation it is hard to prove causation between attachment and well-being. This is because there are many other factors including environmental factors that cannot be measured.

The current models which we have been provided with so far show different correlations. Middle/Upper class - more secure attachments Lower class - less secure attachments Sensitive mother - more secure attachments More secure in childhood - more successful in life This question at hand is which a...

penname: thisispsych I believe a major factor in the well-being of an infant and his secure attachment may be associated with culture. Kids growing up in different cultures will obviously have been raised differently. Depending on the culture, parents of a child will treat the child strictly, har...

largemuffintogo: I believe that a child having a higher well being later can be partially a result of the intial attachments; however it may be the environmental factors as well as situations that may happen between childhood and adulthood that result in the higher or lower well being later on.

Penname: exp I believe the fact that securely attached children are more likely to have higher well-being later in life is inherited. When a child was first born, he couldn't already have formed the attachment style to his caregiver. It is the different ways parents foster their children that let th...

I think that the environment is a great factor in shaping peoples' lives. My brother liked eye contacts as a baby and my mother gave him great love. My sister and I also loved him very much and played with him when he was little. He was very attached to me especially until I was in high school. After my fresh...

pen name: PCM419Other factors that could cause this correlation are wealth, paternal stability, and a caring family nucleus. Families with these factors usually have secure attachments because the children feel accepted, have few worries, are cared for, and are trusting in their relationship...

An alternative explanation would be that of the external variable of socioeconomic status. Socioeconomic status could explain both the dependent variable of attachment and the independent variable of well being later in life. In a family with higher socioeconomic status, it is more likely that...

I think the environment one grows up in might have more influence over the independent and dependent variables. For example, a caring, sensitive mother might have effects on both the type of attachment and later adjustments a person makes. Also, I think a person's friends would play an importa...

Penname: INeedSleep I think there is definitely a strong cause-and-effect relationship between the first relationship the child forms with his or her caregiver and the later development of other relationships. The child has to base all knowledge and expectations of relationships off of his or h...

Pen name : Linger I think another variable that might influence the child is that the environment the child is raised in. In other word, the culture plays a big role on the later well being of the child.

Penname: Apple Another main factor that could influence a person's well-being is definitely the type of good friends a person makes during their early childhood to teenage years. The choices people make at these young ages are highly influenced by what their close peers are doing also.

I think that there is a strong correlation between attachment style as a child and attachment style as an adolescent and adult. Things you learn as a child and experiences that you have are more often the first experiences you are having at that time and this causes a lasting memory to be formed of what t...

I think a child's relationships with any other adult or child, not just the parents, might also play a role.

I think that parents who are financially well off are relaxed parents. THey are more happy and have less to worry them. IF the parents are less worried, then the child will grow up in an enviornment that is relaxed and easy and happier in the end. Parents who are in a lower class or is struggling financial...

cmupsych2012 The correlation between better well being and secure attachment can also be related due to the fact that there is a tendency for mothers from middle class backgrounds as well as higher class backgrounds allow their children to explore more freely.

The correlation between secure attachment as an infant and well-being later in life does not imply causality. It is possible that a stable home life, family nucleus, and attentive parents contribute to both things.

102intro · 102intro

I am not questioning the importance of secure attatchment at all. Children who trust their parents will be able to base future relationships off of the love and trust they felt growing up. Though a secure base is optimal and will definitely cause the child a better childhood than another with the same...

Although the level of attachment to parental figures is a large part of a child's social development, it is not the only factor. A mixture of the child's experiences when away from the mother and their own temperment can play a large role in whether they and socially successful. If over time a child rea...

I think that well being in the future does depend on the attachments that people have as children. If the parents are caring and tend well to the child and their needs, the child is most likely to have a stable "base" for the future, whereas a child coming from an abusive family, or one that is t...

A parent's interaction with a child, plays a very significant role in its development. I think that for any parent's first child, they are somewhat clueless.
