THEORY ATTACHMENT

Edward John Mostyn Bowlby was a British psychologist, psychiatrist, and psychoanalyst, notable for his interest in child development and for his pioneering work in attachment theory. He was born in February 26, 1907 at London, United Kingdom. He died on September 2, 1990 in Skye , United Kingdom. His parents are Anthony Bowlby and Mary Bridget Mostyn. He was studying at University of Cambridge, Trinity College, Cambridge. He was influenced by Sigmund Freud.

These days many parents are well aware of the importance of a strong bond between them and their child and many are certainly recognize of disorders that related to attachment. Theory "attachment" by John Bowlby shows us that we should be aware that attachment is the strong emotional bond that forms between the baby and his/her caregivers. It is the most important component that helps to bring about socialization in children. 

Children who have developed a positive attachment to one or both of their parents will probably wish to maintain the parental affection and approval they receive. Consequently, they may be motivated to adopt the standards of behavior their parents set for them.

BEHAVIORAL AND SOCIAL LEARNING THEORY

Albert Bandura OC is a psychologist who is the David Starr Jordan Professor Emeritus of Social Science in Psychology at Stanford University. He was born in December 4, 1925 at Mundare, Canada. He was studying at University of British Columbia (1946-1949), University of Lowa (1951), and University of Lowa (1952).

Social learning theory, which started out as behaviorism, had a major influence on practices with children throughout much of the twentieth century. Behaviorist believed that directly observable events usually referred to a stimuli and responses-were the appropriate focus of child study. In general, behaviorism taught that a child's behavior could be increased through as variety of reinforces and decreased through punishment such as disapproval or withdrawal of privileges.

 Following behaviorism, several kinds of learning theory-often referred to a social learning theory-emerged. Perhaps the most influential of the learning theories was developed by Albert Bandura, who emphasized that modeling, also known as imitation or observational learning was a powerful source of development
