Mary Ainsworth on Behavioral System - Dictionary of Arguments

Slater I 15
Behavioral System/Ainsworth: Control systems theory in turn guided systematic observations of human infants in the village and home environment (Ainsworth, 1967)(1). It also led to the development of a laboratory paradigm that tested infants’ abilities to use their caregiver as a source of safety and base for exploration (Ainsworth, Blehar, Wall, & Waters, 1978)(2). The development of Ainsworth’s Strange Situation paradigm (>Situation/Ainsworth
) – in which infants’ responses to separation from, and subsequent reunion with, their mother, and their reactions to an unfamiliar woman were recorded – in turn became a paradigm for assessing individual differences in the security of infants’ relationships with their primary caregiver.
