ATTACHMENT? Separation distress: infants are distressed when a
attachment figure leaves their presence
Secure-base behaviour: even when infants are
independent of their attachment figures they tend

, RECIPROCITY
Attachment develops by a reciprocal process which is two-way, where an emotional connection
develops between and infant and caregiver. Influences the child’s physical, neurological, cognitive and
psychological development. Becomes basis or basic trust or mistrust.
Example – caregiver reacts and responds to the signals given out by the baby, providing comfort and
empathy. Smiling back when the baby smiles. Picking them up when they cry. Negative reciprocal
processes will still contribute but not as advantageous.
Supporting evidence – Tronick – developed ‘still face’ experiment, mother faces her baby and is asked
to hold a still face in which she doesn’t react to the baby’s behaviours. In general, the baby will
become agitated by failed attempts to evoke a reaction. Therefore, demonstrates importance of
reciprocity for the child’s wellbeing.
