The level of attachment that an individual has as a child is not the only entity that influences their well being later in life. Another factor could be the type of environment that they grew up in. A child could have grown up in a healthy environment with loving friends and families around them and they...

Secure attachment styles of rasing a child is shown to lead to a higher well being later in life. I think that this correlation makes sense because it has instilled an innate confidence in relationships for the child. It has given the child hope for positivity in all relationships whether or not the ch...

While there is a correlation between developing a secure attachment and overall well-being later in life, it cannot be said that the attachment is the only cause of this well-being because other factors need to be taken into consideration. For example, developing a secure attachment between bab...

I believe that the relationship of the child with his/her caregiver is an important factor that affects both, the type of childhood attachment as well as their well being later on in life. For exmaple, if a child is raised with constant support and encouragement, it is likely that he/she will have sec...

There are many factors that go into someone having a well-being later in life. Yes it is true that a secure attachment can help in this well-being but as one takes the bumpy path otherwise known as growing up, many other influences can effect whether someone has a well-being. On one hand, a toddler coul...

I do no think that attachment and secure attachment necessarily correlates to a better life. I think that it is dependent on each situation. A person can have a secure relationship as a child, but then something bad happens and their attachment is no longer secure. Their life can be bad even with a secu...

The correlation between attachment style and higher well being later in life seems to make sense. Mothers that are invested in their childs well being and growth early on in life will probably still be invested as the child grows older. However, some mothers experience postpartum depression, whic...

Other factors that may generally influence the outcome of securely attached children can be income. "One study. for example, assessed children who were chronically undernurished; only 7% of these were "securely attached"' (Valenzuela,1990,1997). Income could be an underly...

I think it is important not to overlook possible genetic or environmental factors that could alter a child's attachment style. For example, there could possibly be a correlation between genetics and the environment that lead children to live more actively or participate in sports. These child...

I think that many factors in early childhood affect attachment style, and this ultimately affects the toddlers relationship with his/her mother. This relationship plays a large part in mental well-being, and it is a very integral part of growing up. Everyone handles it differently but it definat...

I think one explaination is that when infants have a secure attachment, they develop their confidence at a younger age. By having a secure attachment, the infant is gaining the confidence to not only explore their surroundings but they are also gaining the confidence to do it in the presence of their...

Romantic relationships, especially in the teenage years, often affect the mental well-being of individuals (both negatively and positively). For example, if someone was the victim in an abusive relationship, he or she would be more insecure and skeptical of peoples' actions. Contrastingly, ...

I feel that a possible alternative explanation to why children with secure attachment have a higher well being later in life is that these children feel more comfortable in social situations, and as they grow this can translate into situations where their mother or even their friends are not around...

An alternative explanation as to why a child may be more independent and have a higher well-being later in life is that his or her parent(s) may have exposed him or her to more situations as a child. Thus, making the child learn to adapt with or without the parent there, but knowing that the parent would b...

One alternative may be the influence of religion. Even if the child did not have a secure attachment as a child, some may grow older and become anti social. However, when some go into religion (which acts very much as a supportive mother would) they can regain the positive reinforcement of making conn...

To me it seems crazy to say having a secure attachment will mean you will have a better well-being as an adult. Secure attachments are created by good parents, and good parents also tend to raise better children. So people do not turn out better because they experienced secure attachment as a child, bu...

In families where both parents spend large amounts of time away from home, I think that the prescence of a caregiver can greatly influence attachment and adjustment. Children who are with a caregiver, and thus spend less time alone, will have someone to become securely attached too whereas other c...

According to the book, the percentage of infants that exhibit a secure attachment style is greater in households from the middle-class than in households from a lower socioeconomic status. Thus, I would argue that one variable which affects an infants future well-being is the socioeconomic sta...

I think genetics could be a reason that children who have more secure attachment have better well-being in their later lives. Perhaps genes that allow children to easily have more secure attachment also helps them acquire the social skills needed to fare well in later life. Environment could also b...

I think that one of the most important yet undervalued variables that can influence attachment style is general exposure to events. I would argue that most children who can deal with any sort of adversity will benifit from experiencing many different types of situations. Instead of constantly gua...

I believe that Attachment makes positive role models in a child's life. If a child has someone to look up to and to admire. A child has the image of want it means to be a succesful person. If a person has someone who cares about them the person will try to act like the person who cares about them so in life they...
