Attachment 2
Storyboard Text
- That does not make sense. Freud is correct because an infant would likely rather have a source of food (breastfeeding mother) than comfort since they need food to survive.
- Yes, that is also what I would assume. But, Harlow performed an experiment where a baby monkey was fed by one cold, metal wired mother and not fed by a warm cloth mother. The baby preferred the warm mother as it was able to provide contact comfort.
- That experiment really brings Harlow's theory into light. Possibly that was a coincidence though because the monkey is an animal and animals have natural instincts to seek means of survival, in this case food.
- You make a great point! Bowlby, another psychologist built off of Harlow's theory of attachment. He defined attachment as a bond formed between an infant and mother.
- Yes. While that may play a role in attachment, Bowlby and Harlow reveal a different side of attachment that emphasizes the emotional and physical needs of an infant, not just their needs for survival.
- Interesting! I had only heard of Freud's theory explaining how infants are oral creatures and receive pleasure through oral stimulation.
