Problem: How can I make notes with bullet points in this paragraph? Infants in Uganda are unaccustomed to brief separations from their mothers; they experience only lengthy separations while their mothers work (Colin, 1996). Compared with U.S. babies, infants in all these cultures find Strange Situation separations more strange and stressful; they show more distress and find accepting the mother's comfort more difficult. They are more likely to be ambivalent and less likely to be avoidant than U.S. infants. In Germany, Sweden, and Great Britain, parents stress infants' early independence even more than U.S. parents do; not surprisingly then, German, Swedish, and British infants are more likely to be avoidant in the Strange Situation than are American infants (Colin, 1996; Schaffer, 1996). In view of these findings, we may ask whether the Strange Situation is the best instrument for assessing attachment relationships in other cultures. In cultures where babies are treated very differently from how they are in the United States, it is a good idea to make sure the Strange Situation is a good predictor of their behavior at home, perhaps by using the Attachment Q-Set. If the two measures don't agree, it is probably better to use the direct observations of attachment behavior at home for research or clinical evaluation. Although some items in the AQS are somewhat culture bound, researchers have found considerable overall cross-cultural consistency in mothers' Q-sorts in China, Colombia, Ger. Need Assignment Help?
