Abstract

The attachment theory was first proposed by British psychologist John Bowlby, outlining the emotional bonds between infancy and its caregivers and emphasizing the profound effect of this relationship on the future development of infancy. Further research has deepened this topic. To specifically understand the types of attachment and clarify the specific impact of early attachment on psychological development, this paper provides an overview of attachment theory and gives an analysis of the relationship. The result shows that attachment mainly can be divided into four types and early attachment has a deep influence on psychological development. Early attachment is mainly reflected in the baby’s life experience. It includes positive and negative aspects. These effects are mainly reflected from biological, social and other aspects, and affect infants’ psychological development by affecting their brain structure. Attachment is very important for children’s early development. Through this study, society and family can correctly understand the specific impact of attachment on early childhood development, so as to pay more attention to the healthy development of early childhood.
