Paper Reference - 7182/1
Outline and evaluate the role of the father in the development of attachment.
[16 Marks]
PREVIEW:
Traditionally, the role of the father in a familial household was to go out and work to provide
for the family whilst the mother took care of the children. However, society has changed and
the role of the father has changed alongside it.
However, psychologists cannot come to a collective agreement over the role of the father in
attachment. Some researchers believe that the father acts like more of a playmate to the
child as the interactions between the father and child are more exciting and playful, rather
than affectionate.
