                      1. attachment assessed using strange situation and also to their mother attachment

              3. evaluation
                1. evidence on continuity of attachment type is mixed
                  1. your attachment to your mother will be the same as you and your child

                      1. Zimmerman does not support

                      2. association does not mean causality
                        1. most studies = infant attachment type causes the attachment
                          1. another factor could be environment or temperament
                            1. this goes against the internal working model
                      3. evaluation +
                        1. the influence of early attachment is probabilistic
                          1. Bowlby exaggerated how much attachment will effect later life
                            1. Clarke - people are not doomed if they have poor infant attachments
                              1. just a probability of poor future attachments
                          2. self report is conscious, internal working models aren't
                            1. can't say how internal working model influences us as we don't know it's there
                              1. can only self report on things we are aware of
                                1. internal working model is theoretical
