Factors that could interfere with the IV and DV are the socialization of the infant. The child may start out forming secure attachment but end up in a group of infants that are not secure. The child may learn one of the other forms of attachment from these infants.

I think in general what it all comes down to is overall neglect and the fact that if the parent does not tend to the child then that child is never going to feel secure. This is obviously because no child can survive on it's own so thus nurturing a child is really what influences attachment the most.

102intro · 102intro

A large variable that comes to mind that can influence both the IV and DV is a mother's physical health. Poor physcial health on the mother's part may cause her to become preoccupied with things not at all realted to her baby. This by itself may change the attachment style of the infant. Additionally, t...

There are many social and environmental cues that could determine a child's future well-being. For example, it has been suggested that peers have a larger influence in many ways on a child's development than do parents (something that I read outside of class). In addition, something like the socio...

102intro · 102intro

I think something that could have an impact on someone's well-being regardless of their secure attachment as an infant is a traumatic event in that relationship between mother and child. For example if the mother were to do something that would make the child lose complete trust for her. The future w...

I believe that the type of attachment one has when one was young does affect the type of attachment he/she has as an adult. However, the effect of the attachment can be varied, depending on what the person view as a ideal relatioship between two people.

102intro · 102intro

Another factor that could influence type of attachment and well-being later in life is economic status. If a family is more affluent they will be more able to provide care to the child, such as with a babysitter. The well-being of the child is more likely to be better because the family can provide heal...

I think there are many factors that play into which type of attachment people develop and how it impacts them later in life. One such factor could be the culture or society in which the person lives. Certain cultures emphasize different kinds of relationships and behaviors that may encourage or disc...

102intro · 102intro

If we consider that secure attachment and good outcomes later in life are both dependent varriables caused by the same independent varriable, then I believe the most obvious IV would be the home enviornment of the child. If the child is in a stable home environment (either good or bad), they are likel...

Well-being refers to several aspects of life - physical, emotional, social or financial. Though correlations between them exist, these aspects may not always parallel each other. For instance, an individual might be financially secure, but emotionally unstable. This notion makes me q...

Another variable that would influence a childs attachment and well being in life could be the background of that childs family. Different cultures tend to have different parent-child relationships. For example one culture may not encourage too much affection or communication to establish a str...

While it is highly likely that attachments made in childhood influence well-being later in life, one cannot say that that is the only factor. There are an incredible number of factors that influence us. One that is decided from birth, for example, is our genes. The genetic code we are born with inf...

One factor that goes into a child's well being is the environment or group of people that the child grows up with. There's a saying that we are the "average of the people we spend the most time with". If a child grows up with a group of misfits and troublemakers, the child is most likely going to...

102intro · 102intro

I agree that the attachment style definitely has some impact on the child's future well being. However, I think there are many other factors as well. For example, even if the child grows up feeling secure and in a good relationship with his mother, the environment the child grows up in could greatly...

102intro · 102intro

If you have a parental figure with a rather large income, the other thus has more time to spend with the child, and thus can give it more attention. More attention can cause a secure attachment. However, a parent with a large income somewhat guarantees the child's future. Hence, something like this co...

102intro · 102intro

One variable that might affect both the child's bond with parent and the child's well-being later in life is proper nutrition. A healthy diet, generally continually facilitated due to a parent, can cause very important development in a young child. Some foods, such as fast food, may be insufficie...

102intro · 102intro

A possible confounding variable in the attachment style/happines dichotomy is whether the child was bullied in school. A securely attached child may become an insecuraly attached young adult after a traumatic experience in school. In addition, some other possible explanations for an indivi...

I think that it is interesting that babies in poorer families have less of a chance of having a secure baby. What about that environment is so much different than those in well off families? It seems that there is more stress in lower income families from the issues that stem from lack of money and the tim...

102intro · 102intro

There are many contributing factors other than the attachment style that is developed as an infant that contribute to the overall deveolopment of a child. I think that a bigger contributing factor is the social environment that the child is raised in. If the relationships of the people around the in...

102intro · 102intro

I think another variable that could influence both the dependent and independent variable is location. Meaning that if you grow up in a location that fosters a sense of closeness and community, then you are more likely to grow up less synical and more trusing. On the other hand if you grow up in a more...

Income and the evironment a child grows up in can play a huge role in the well being of the child later in life. Low income households usually have high amounts of stress just to pay the bills, and this could cause a less loving or involved relationship between parent and child.

102intro · 102intro

A family's socioeconomic situation will have a major influence on a child's development. Children who have a strong attachment with their parents will generally feel more confident about themselves. They will not be constantly engaging themselves in daring tasks in a desperate attempt to seek a...

The reading states that secure attachments are more likely to occurr in middle-class families than in lower-class families. Therefore, this correlation between well-being and attachment could be caused by differences in income. A middle-class family is more likely able to afford college for t...

102intro · 102intro

The social norms for the culture in which a child is brought up would also be a contributing factor in how well adjusted the child is later on. For example, some cultures stress strict social codes and a great deal of time is spent on developing appropriate behaviors; this approach could potentially...

The child may have a predisposed level of sociability. This is a 3rd variable not dependent on his type of attachment to his mother. As a consequence of being more sociable, a child may exhibit secure attachment to his mother as an infant, be a better playmate as a toddler, and have close friends as a tee...

102intro · 102intro

I think that large factors that can influence a child's temperament could be socioeconomic status and parenting styles. Children with a single parent or negligent parents are probably more likely to not be as well adjusted as children with two, supportive parents. Socioeconomic status could a...

102intro · 102intro

I believe that children with a secure attachment tend to become more well adjusted adults just because a strong base at home is important to a developing child and adolescent. With a strong base, a person has people around to help them adjust to the different challenges life throws at them and can lean...

102intro · 102intro

The socioeconomic status of a child could influence both their type of family attachment as well as their well-being later in life. Attachment and well-being would therefore be correlated, but not causally related.

I believe that certain genetic mental disorders or developments can definitely affect the IV and DV for Attachment vs Later Adjustment. Some examples of these would be aspergers, depression, or anxiety disorders.

When a family is better of it creates less financial and overall stress within the family. This can cuase the child to have a more secure attachment to its mother. If the mother is more open to engage in activities with her child then the child will be more likely to respond in a positive matter. If the mot...
