Ainsworth (1970s)
What did Harlow determine by enacting the "Strange Situation" experiment technique where monkeys were left to explore an unfamiliar room with and without its mother?
The monkeys who had a mother in the room would only stay close to the mother and would not venture farther than a few feet.
There was no difference between whether the mother was present or not in the room.
When the surrogate mother was present, the monkey would explore the room freely because of their secure base of attachment.
When the surrogate mother was removed from the room, the monkey would be more confident in their exploration.
The work of Harlow, Ainsworth, and Bowlby helped change the operating procedures and approaches to care for which types of facilities?

Doctors offices, Retirement communities, and mental health facilities.
K-12 educational facilities, college and university campuses.
Orphanages, adoption agencies, child care providers, and social services groups.
During the 1900's it was believed that showing children affection was not necessary to the development of that child and might even promote psychological problems.
