, BOWLBY’S MONOTROPIC THEORY
BOWLBY
Rejected learning theory and instead looked at work of Lorenz and Harlow
Proposed an evolutionary explanation that attachment was an innate system that gave a survival advantage
Imprinting and attachment evolved to ensure animals stay close
Bowlby’s theory is made of 5 aspects
ADAPTIVE
Attachments are adaptive and gives our species an ‘adaptive advantage’
If infant is attached, they’re kept safe and warm – more likely to survive
