While there is a correlation between certain types of attachment and the well-being of people later in life, this does not prove causation. There are other factors that must be taken into account, such as environmental and external factors. If a child was raised adequately and was securely attached, external factors such as poverty or natural disasters or the parents having a bad relationship, could negatively affect the childs state or well being.
I agree completely. You have to take into account so many other things about one's life to determine why someone's level of well-being is at the level it's at and usually such large variables such as economic status can severely affect someone's well-being later on in life. You could be raised with a secure attachment style and live in poverty all your life and chances are, your well-being is not very high because of the poverty, not because of how you were raised.
I politely disagree with you when you say poverty and natural disasters can negatively effect the childs mental well-being and developmental growth. Millions of kids have grown up to be well-adjusted adults, despite growing up in poverty or suffering through natural disasters. Now I agree it can disrupt their physical and current state/well-being, but its difficult to undo instilled secure attachment.
I agree with your comment about the important influence of environment and outside factors. A child may receive a consistent for of care at home, which can leave to a secure attachment, but when the child is not with his or her parents, he or she can be affected by others. Peers and other adults can influence the child outside of the home.
I agree with you; a child is influenced by such factors because the parents play a big role in their development and attachment. If accidents or conflicts between them occur, the child sees the negative feelings that the parent feels and may not feel as secure. Also, the parents not give their full attention to the child because they have other matters to worry about. Thus the child will feel less nurtured and neglected and will not feel so securely attached.
I agree too. The more a parent nurtures their child and gives them attention, the child will feel more and more secure. If the child is neglected, then the child will not feel as secure and that may cause attachment problems later in life. Children also learn from their parents by experiencing a situation with them and taking into account their parents reaction. If something bad happens and the parent shows concern, the child most likely will too.
