Explain the contribution of each of the following theorists to the understanding of childhood social-emotional development: Konrad Lorenz, Harry and Marguerite Harlow, Mary Ainsworth, Diana Baumrind
What will be an ideal response?
Lorenz is known for his work on imprinting, in which he demonstrated that baby goslings are capable of "bonding" to organisms other than their biological mother. The Harlows conducted research with baby rhesus monkeys, demonstrating that comfort contact was a stronger determinant of attachment than food. Ainsworth developed
the Strange Situation, an experimental task to objectively measure attachment. Ainsworth found three infant attachment styles related to the style of the caregiver. Baumrind conducted research on parenting styles, discovering that the authoritative style generally leads to the best outcomes for children.
