Ijzendoorm and Kroonenberg (1988) - Meta-analysis of 32 studies of attachment behaviour - Over 2000 studies from 8 countries - Inter-cultural differences (difference between cultures) - Intra-cultural differences (differences within the same culture)
Cultural Variations - Inter-cultural: small differences, secure was the most common, insecure-avoidant was the next most common, except in Israel and Japan (collectivist) - Intra-cultural: differences within cultures were 1.5x greater than between cultures - Global norm = secure attachment
Cultural Similarities Tronick et al (1992) studied an African tribe, the Efe, who lived in extended family groups - Infants were looked after and fed by different women but usually slept with their own mothers. - Despite these differences, at 6 months, the infants still showed 1 primary attachment
Cultural Differences Grossman et al (1991) found higher levels of insecure attachment amongst German infants than in other cultures - German cultures involve interpersonal distance Takahashi (1990) studied 60 middle-class Japanese infants: found no evidence of insecure-avoidant attachment
Evaluation Cross-cultural research > Psychologists measure behaviour using intelligence tests or observational methods > Imposed etic - method designed in one culture and imposed in another > eg: Strange Situation (US)
Evaluation Culture bias > Rothbaum et al (2000) - not just the methods but the theory is also irrelevant to different cultures (western and eastern) > Children that are emotionally secure go on to develop into socially and emotionally competent adult
Evaluation Nation rather than culture > Meta-analysis - comparing countries, not cultures > Each country has its own sub-cultures, each with different childcare practices - Cannot be generalised to urban and rural regions of each country
Evaluation Indigenous theories of attachment > Rothbaum et al suggested that research from various cultures should be able to produce a set of indigenous theories - explanations for attachment for each culture
