Hello - thanks for a generally informative video. I wanted to push back against your perspective on Bowoby's attachment theory. If you read his 1981 publication, he explicitly states that it was unfortunate he could not study fathers in his research, as they typically worked during the day at that time in history and were not available for research. He further hypothesizes that anyone spending enough time caring for an infant will develop an attachment with that infant regardless of gender or position in the family. This is a common misconception and one that I detailed in my dissertation so I am always determined to make sure we stop spreading this rumor as educators. I encourage you to add a note to your video about this, or remove that section. Rudi Dallos has also explored this rumor in his publications regarding using attachment theory with narrative therapy, in case you are looking for references.

Thanks for the well-thought-out comment, Moriah. I thought I should reply with one. While I dont disagree with your point and the conclusions of your dissertation, please keep in mind I have to consider my audience (16-18-year-olds at a range of ability levels), and my primary aim with these videos is to provide content that will gain them credit in the UK A level examinations. Of course, this summary is overly simplistic at your level. But in the same way that when teaching physics to seven-year-olds (you wouldn't start with PHd level content), the extreme level of abstraction needed makes what you teach technically incorrect; there are many occasions when I need to over-simplify for clarity or brevity. Another reason is I need to follow the line that the exam board is taking; as an example, see page 18 of this mark scheme filestore.aqa.org.uk/sample-papers-and-mark-schemes/2022/june/AQA-71811-MS-JUN22.PDF identifying criticising Bowlby for his overemphasis on the mother as a valid evaluation (there are many other examples). Examiners (who are teachers) have certain expectations of what points will be made, and the assumed gender bias of Bowlby's work at this point is a given. (it's not the only erroneous assumption, I can assure you!) additionally, not all examiners have your knowledge base; I have to work within that limitation, too. And a final, somewhat flippant point, Bowlby's use of the term "maternal deprivation" has somewhat set the field up for the misunderstanding you have outlined. Not to devalue your points made, as I dont disagree, but perhaps you would be better off contacting the source (AQA), as my diversion from established mark schemes would only lead to poorer performance in exams for the students who watch these videos. But I do feel your frustration; I'm currently producing a Zimbardo video, a study that has been found in modern reviews to be so flawed I dont think it should be taught on an academic qualification. I'm wrestling this moment with how to put that across in ways that will match the requirements of the spec. Anyway, cheers again for the feedback, Moriah! Can I ask if you are also an A-level psychology teacher?
