Attachment essentially can establish a positive or negative path for childhood development that will impact the way children form bonds and interact with others into adulthood. Outside the foster system, caregiver drug use, mental or physical health issues or lack of understanding can also impede the attachment formed.

The psychological theory of attachment was first described by John Bowlby, a psychoanalyst who researched the effects of separation between infants and their parents (Fraley, 2010).

Bowlby hypothesized that the extreme behaviors infants engage in to avoid separation from a parent or when reconnecting with a physically separated parent—like crying, screaming, and clinging—were evolutionary mechanisms. Bowlby thought these behaviors had possibly been reinforced through natural selection and enhanced the child’s chances of survival.

These attachment behaviors are instinctive responses to the perceived threat of losing the survival advantages that accompany being cared for and attended to by the primary caregiver(s). Since the infants who engaged in these behaviors were more likely to survive, the instincts were naturally selected and reinforced over generations.

These behaviors make up what Bowlby termed an “attachment behavioral system,” the system that guides us in our patterns and habits of forming and maintaining relationships (Fraley, 2010).

Research on Bowlby’s theory of attachment showed that infants placed in an unfamiliar situation and separated from their parents will generally react in one of three ways upon reunion with the parents:

Secure attachment: These infants showed distress upon separation but sought comfort and were easily comforted when the parents returned;
Anxious-resistant attachment: A smaller portion of infants experienced greater levels of distress and, upon reuniting with the parents, seemed both to seek comfort and to attempt to “punish” the parents for leaving.
Avoidant attachment: Infants in the third category showed no stress or minimal stress upon separation from the parents and either ignored the parents upon reuniting or actively avoided the parents (Fraley, 2010).

Explain how hereditary diseases are passed from one generation to another.
Genrish500 [490]
<span>A hereditary disease is a genetic disease. It passes down to next generations because when male and female make gametes/sex cells - they pass on information to gametes, and then when fertilization occurs, gamete cells fuse together and their genetic material from each parent fuses together </span><span>too</span> and the zygote is formed. That's<span> why the baby has similar genetic material to their parents. </span>I hope that this is the answer that you were looking for and it has helped you.
