January 15, 2010, Newsletter Issue #320: Jane Ainsworth´s Attachment Theory
Tip of the Week
Jane Ainsworth´s work in attachment theory began in the early 1960s and she is most recognized for her development of the Strange Situation attachment assessment that she developed in the 1970s (1979). Based on Bowlby´s idea that there are specific attachment behaviors associated with the security of attachment, she developed a method of assessing the security of the attachment between a caregiver and child using 8, 3 minute episodes in which the child was exposed to situations that would cause these attachment behaviors to come out. That included fear, trust, the opportunity to explore, the absence of the primary caregiver, etc.
