Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cross-cultural research shows that in some collectivist cultures, the ideal attachment of an infant is to a group, rather than just to one individual, such as the mother. This differs from Western individualistic cultures, where attachment to one primary caregiver, usually the mother, is emphasized. Therefore, option D is incorrect as attachment does not occur in the same way across cultures. Option B is also incorrect as attachment can occur with other caregivers besides the mother. Option C is incorrect as all cultures value attachment, although they may value it differently.
