I think that the link between attachment and well-being is because good attachment with ones parents means that one is closer to them. This means that the parents will give more advice to children. In the long run, this will prepare them better for the things that they will have to deal with in their liv...

Income and the environment a child grow up in is an important factor in the child's future well being. If the child is from a low income family, he will most likely grown up in a more negative environment than one who is from a high income family. Since the child from the low income family is not as happy and...

It is clear that there is a correlation between the type of attachment you develop as a child and how you and your personality progresses as you grow older, but this cannot be the main reason for the shaping of who you really are considered there are so many other variables that need to be accounted for. ...

I think the standard of living individually can affect both an infant's attachment and his/her higher well being later in life. Suppose, an infant's parents' have a low income, then that could affect the way they took care of the infant and thus his/her attachment. That might later also affect wheth...

Individual parenting styles would have a significant impact on both the type of attachment that is formed and the well-being later in life. Well-being is not really defined and so it is impossible to tell if it is judged off of extent of development, or possibly moral development, or physical develo...

A huge factor in the child's later life is the emotional well-being of their family. For example, families with parents that suffer from mental disorders, etc. will generally have a more negative effect on the child in later life. Also, the income and comfort of living the child experiences growing...

One could argue that the parents that form secure attachments with their children are more likely to be attractive friends capable of maintaining healthy relationships than those parents who may not form this bond with their child. We've learned that children imitate the behaviors they see in ad...

I think a factor that affects a childs tragectory is whether or not the family moved around a lot or not. Moving is something that a child must adjust to. Some children may not be willing to move because of attachments to their surroundings. If the child is not willing to move they may speak out towards th...

An alternative explanation can be the experiences that one has in his or her life. Depending on the experiences that one goes through, whether such experiences are problematic or joyous (and not limited to just encounters with people), one may be more capable of or prepared for tackling potential...

Having a certain type of attachment as a baby gives an indication about the type of attachment the baby may have as it grows up, but there is not a direct correlation. Events we experience, and the environment we grow up around, shape our personalities as we grow up. If a child has a scarring experienc...

There are some studies done in which there is a positive correlation between one type of attachment and a person's well-being in life. However, that correlation is not necessarily true because a person's childhood attachment to his/her parent(s) is such a small factor in what determines a person'...

I think that there is some correlation between the attachment relationships a child may have and their well being later in life, but ultimately, well-being greatly depends on the environment we are brought up in. Our experiences as children greatly shape how we turn out later, and I don't think tha...

I believe that the correlation between secure attachment and higher well-being is mostly due to the fact that secure attachment arises largely from the encouragement from the parents for their young children to explore and take a greater role in their own understanding. This early encouragement...

A third vairable that could impact both attachment type and quality of life is genetic makeup. Perhaps there is a particular gene that causes a person to be secure as a child and allows them to continue to be happy later in life.

While children who have one type of attachment type may tend to grow up to act a certain way later in life, we cannot say that this relationship is causal. Other factors such as the environment in which babies who develop a certain type of attachment may be the root behind how they will fair later in life....

You cannot say that someone's well being is directly affected by attachments but you can say that they are related. Other things such as the environment the child grows in affect his/her personality. An attachment does in fact influence this though because a child can gain encouragement from that a...

An alternative explanation could be the family that a child grows up in. A child with a single parent or a loss family member i.e. brother/sister could play a huge role. There could be secure attachment to the mother, but a loss of a family may play a huge role in how a person interacts with others, potent...

I agree with the idea that secure children at one year are more attractive to other children as play mates. However, whether the child was exposed to other children before, during the first year of life, could affect it's atractiveness as a playmate to otehr children.

It makes sense that there is correlation between attachment style and well being. After all the relationship a child has with it's mother is the first relationship he or she develops. If this relationship is a good one, the child has a basis for all of his or her other relationships. If it isn't good...

A possible explanation for this is that more secure children come from higher income families(The textbook says that there are more secure children in middle class families than lower income families). It is possible then that more of these children from better off families go to college and get hi...

An alternative explanation that may influence IV and DV is the environment in which the baby grew up, or even after developmental years. They may have been exposed to constant arguments of family members, violence, poverty, etc. that could have influenced their outlook on the world, influencing t...

A possible alternative explanation is the financial status of the family. It would force limits on the parents' ability to spend time with the child. Therefore, it affects the attachment style. In addition, it would affect the living conditions and health status.

102intro · 102intro

While attachment types and well-being later in life is correlational, it's not necessarily a causal relationship. Another possible explanation that could be taken into account could be the person's natural tendencies or perhaps how they can relate to people. Maybe as a child, the person is very f...

The issue of nature versus nurture plays a key role in the discussion of this issue. Even if claims about attachment directly causing well-being cannot be made, there are definitely correlations.

Though it is likely that a person who had a secure attachment as a child will adjust well later in life, it is not always the case. The time of development between infant and adulthood has the opportunity to change the person; for example, if the person goes through some kind of traumatic event like bull...

Different people have different personalities; it is possible that the baby's personality is to be more outgoing and happy, which is a general trait that also is seen as positive later in life.

The book states that children who were securely attached as infants are more likely to have close friends as teenagers. It is true that secure attachment correlates with close friend relationships later on, but other factors may play a part in that result. It may also depend on if the infant was allow...
