Significant Impact on Later Adult Behaviour

Question: Is attachment crucial to the development of individual differences and has a significant impact on later adult behaviour? Answer: Discussing the research into attachment: As discussed by Winke (2007), attachment is very crucial for the development of individual child within the particular phase of life. Children need very good attachment to develop their early and future life. Relationship between child and parents should be very good. A good relationship between parents and children helps to develop the life of the children within the context of society. In this context, attachment theory is relevant and appropriate. Attachment theory is a psychological model that aims to attempt significant relationship between different individual human beings. A child from his/her birth has demanded for care and nourishment for the development of his/her physical and psychological aspect. However, Greenwald et al. (1998) stated that, there are different researches in relation to the attachment. John Bowlby has developed theory of attachment. Theory of attachment has been developed by understanding the level of distress that has been experienced by few children who stay separately from their parents. Bowlby has experienced that few differences among these separated children are mainly involved in emotional pain. Therefore, Stanovich (1986) stated that, emotional pain is very common phenomenon for the mammalian species. Attachment theory has discussed the important aspect of childs developmental context that an infant always needs a good relationship with somebody who gives care for the development as well as success of the emotional and social development of the child. An infant needs sensitive caregiver who will manage the emotional aspect of the child. Traits, relationship and behavioral system are the most important aspects of infant-adult attachment of the children . In this context, attachment behavior system is very important as well as essential concept. Attachment behavior system seeks to link between some ethological models of human development and modern types of theories upon personality and regulation of emotion. According to Bowlby, young children have often experienced a deep anguish and depression because of separation or loss of their parents. These separated children have often experienced unnatural behavior. They often have experienced anxiety, lack of confidence etc. An infant needs care in every aspects of their life. A good relationship among the parents can be considered as the central element of the development of the children. Parents should participate within the needs and demands of child within every aspects of the life (Luck and Vogel, 2013) Discussing possible effects of early relationship upon the behavior of future level: As discussed by, McRae et al. (2012), early experiences often have influenced later development of a child. Early experiences of infant often have affected upon the cognition, social skills, personality, emotional responses and other developmental contexts of a child. Early experiences of a child often guarantee different long-term developmental outcomes of a child. On the other hand, early experiences also help to provide guarantee to protect against succeeding trauma. As stated by Ciechanowski et al. (2014), researches of 30 years have discussed that birth infants can be more competent as well as responsive to the environment of their development. Therefore, effective relationship between mother and child is very important for the development of an infant within the social and psychological context. The relationship between an infant and his/her parents also affects upon the future level of development of the child. Essential need of an infant is one good caregiver who will provide care to every aspects of his/her lives. The attachment between the child and parents should be well established for the sake of future developments of the child. Attachment theories have always focused upon the contributions and notions of early experiences of the child. According to John Bowlby, working model have discussed that experience of primary caregiver leads to the beliefs and expectations about him/her self and the society. Early experiences are very essential to influence over the future developments of the child. On the other hand, Holmes (2014) discussed that, early bonds between child and parents and other caregivers influence upon the behavioral context of the child. There are some different behaviors of child, like aggression, negative behavior, immature behavior, non-compliance. As the case study has discussed, children do not have proper assurance and caregiver for their different aspects of life. Their stepmother abused them and the children did not have proper guidance from their father. These children did not get proper nourishment and necessary care. They had suffered from malnutrition, rickets. Therefore, these children could not walk properly. Their living practice was very much unusual. The speech of those children was underdeveloped and poor. As these children did not proper physical care from their parents, therefore they have not learned any usual behavior. They were built up through unnatural process. Therefore, the case study has shown that later these children have been cared properly. After getting proper care, the children have been developed. They have started to behave like normal children. They also have prospered normal as well as productive lives (Dykas and Cassidy, 2011). However, it can be assumed that early experiences have affected certain stages of their life. After getting god care, these children have properly behaved like normal human being. These children need care for the development of their life. Therefore, after getting the necessary care early experiences have not affected the later life of these children. Explaining the developments of individual differences: As discussed by, Wu et al. (2014), every individual person differs from each other by different features, characteristics. It is obvious that an individual should be different from each other by their physical as well as psychological differences. There are study of individual differences is related with the study of variance. In order to study the differences among individual study of personal psychology is essential and often required. However, individuals are often distinguished by distinct nature of their differences. Those differences include sex, social identity, culture, age and ethnicity. On the other hand, George and West (2012) argued that, researches in the field of individual differences are based on three distinct questions; those are involved in the development of adequate descriptive taxonomy of the differences of individual, application of differences in one situation in order to know the differences in another situation, explanation of different theoretical approaches within the perspective of individual differences. Within the taxonomies of individual differences, test theory is relevant and essential to know the differences of individual. There can be differences of English vocabulary or other languages among the people. Classical Test theory often has developed measurement pattern of individual differences by measuring performance of the people on small sample of papers. On the other hand, Richards et al. (2011) stated that, Individual ability and personality can also be considered as the parameter of differences within the group of individual. Personality refers to the individual as well as personal ability of the individual. Personality of an individual is often involved within the overall performance of the individual. However, taxonomic and predictive studies discuss individual differences with the relational aspect of feelings, behavior as well as thoughts and the outcomes. As discussed by Zeanah et al. (2011), study of individual differences is very much different from the study of experimental psychology. Area of study with individual differences is involved in describing stable differences among every individual. There are individual differences within the field of education. Every individual performs differently within the educational sector. The differences among education are closely related with the differences of intelligence among the individual persons. Therefore, environmental context and societal aspect of ones development often affect upon the development of intelligence of a person. Evaluating evidence for different natures of individual: As discussed by Lamb et al. (2013), differences among people can be considered as very common observational process. Individual differences happen as because of there are difference among the environment and genetic factors of individual people. Individual differences often occur due to interaction of environment and genetic factors. Individual people often gather some characteristics from the gens of their parents. A child gathers some similar features from the genetic codes of his/her parents. Therefore, the child resembles his/her parents. On the other hand, other characteristics often have grown with different contributions of social as well as environmental context. Environmental and social context are very responsible for the development of individual within the society. On the other hand, Luck and Vogel (2013) discussed that, differences between society and environment often affect upon the development of identity among the individual. A child often has resembled with the physical aspects of childs parents. A child shares physical similarities with their parents but the child has not shared not all the similarities. A child consumes emotional as well as cognitive and other characteristics from his/her parents. Children also develop intellectual properties from their parents. They also gather creativity and other aspects from their parents. A child also develops distinct characteristics by the support of societal and environmental context that can be inhabited by the child. Therefore, environment or society and different micro aspects often help in order to achieve the particular development of an individual. Reference lists Ciechanowski, P. S., Katon, W. J., Russo, J.
