Priya works at an international preschool with families from a wide range of cultural backgrounds.
She has noticed distinct patterns in how children from different cultures react during morning drop-offs and afternoon reunions. Some children eagerly explore the playroom and barely acknowledge their parents when they return. Others become highly distressed when their parent leaves, and when the parent returns, they seek physical closeness but also push the parent away in anger. A large group of children show moderate distress upon separation but are quickly comforted and return to playing happily when reunited.
Priya wants to use psychological evidence to help her team understand these different reactions.
Evaluate cross-cultural research into attachment types as an explanation of the children’s behaviour at the preschool.
