Cultural variations in attachment are like a buffet of parenting styles. Some countries serve up "always have the baby close" as the main course, while others prefer to offer a side dish of "let the baby sleep in their own room by six months." Just as different cuisines satisfy diverse tastes, different cultures nourish unique attachment dynamics.

Must say I’ve never heard it put like that - interesting metaphor - something I’ll have a “chew” on 😉

Thank you for another amazing video! I love your comparisons of the names of well-known scientists to other famous people (e.g. Avril Lavigne), or things. They always make me chuckle 😅 But what doesn't make me chuckle is trying to memorise the name of Van Ijzendoorn 😂 I wonder how acurate is the study conducted on children in Japan. Japan is considered to be a collectivist culture but as far as I'm aware children there are very independent. According to statistics, Japan is a very safe country, and I've watched some videos where it was said children go to school by themselves from a very young age. They navigate around big cities on their own, take the metro, buses etc. And they also spend a lot of time being involved in after-school activities. I guess it's hard to definie the whole nation by conducting a couple of studies.

You're welcome Chelsey 😀 and I'm glad you appreciate some of the jokes! You wouldn't but the first student who recoils at having to learn Van Ijzendoorn! Thanks for your thoughts on Japan - there arise obviously such variation within cultures that, as I said in the video, it can be so hard to compare between cultures. The individualistic /collectivist distinction can be a very helpful one, and eye opening for many when they hear about it, but it has such broad brush strokes that it can miss so much complexity. And this is also changing over time particularly with globalisation/technology leading to growing Western influence. I read a book called 'Cleverlands' which compared educational systems around the world and this proved very insightful in understanding cultural differences and practices which directly shaped attitudes toward education.

I really enjoyed the video and the way you present this topic. I have heard of the attachment styles before and I always thought that the test was very focused on the western idea of independence. Also your voice is very soothing

[@BearitinMIND]

Thank you 😊Really glad you enjoyed the video and that it was informative for you regarding attachments in other cultures. It’s certainly a complex issue, and personally I would like to learn more about other ways in which culture differences affect human behaviour.

Germany has subsided child care and children as young as 1 are separated from their mothers so they can return to work.

[@BearitinMIND]

I did not know that - very interesting! Do you know how long they’ve done this for?
