You're missing the point!As a psychological theory Ainsworth put it up there to be shot down - and indeed has been - many, many times in many, many waysShe was investigating older theories, specifically attachment. Other studies look at the range of attachments to 'primary caregivers' including Dads, wellington boots and 'wire' parents - check out the Bowlby and Harlow studies on youtube!
