(-) Not objective - Answer-Preconceptions about how fathers behave are created by
common discussions. These stereotypes (e.g., fathers are more playful, stricter) may
cause unintentional observer bias when observers 'see' what they expect rather than
recording reality.
This is a limitation of the research into the role of the father because the conclusions
drawn may be due to bias and therefore may lack internal validity. L Therefore, the
research does not demonstrate a valid representation of the role of the father.
(+) Longitudinal research - Answer-The same families were followed up at three time
points over a ten-year period (as opposed to studying different children of varying ages
at the same time).
This is a strength of the research because the findings of the study will not be affected
by confounding variables such as individual differences and therefore have high internal
validity.
Therefore, Grossman's study is strong evidence to support that the role of the father is
different to that of the mother and strengthens the validity of the claim that the role of
the father is more involved in play and stimulation.
(-) Low population validity - Answer-The sample consisted only of babies from working
class families in Glasgow. Glasgow remains the most deprived city in Scotland. High
deprivation is often associated with single mothers, 'stay-at-home' mothering (whilst the
father works), or both parents (and potentially extended family members) being
unemployed. Therefore, the sample may not be representative of babies from middle
class families. These babies may have different experiences in terms of how much time
at home they spend with their mother, father, extended family members and staff
members at nursery.
Primary attachment is usually with the mothers but sometimes both
Schaffer & Emerson (1964) - Answer-Schaffer and Emerson found that most babies
became attached to their mothers first. By 6-8 months most babies started to show
separation anxiety from their attachment figure indicating that an attachment had been
formed.
