Attachment theory and culture: parenting in Latin America and rural Peru from an attachment theory perspective

Fourment Sifuentes, K.G. (2022)

Doctoral Thesis

This dissertation aimed to shed light on the study of attachment theory in areas other than western, educated, industrialized, rich, and democratic (WEIRD; Henrich et al., 2010) societies that dominate the literature. We aimed to describe the extent to which the attachment theory core hypotheses are supported by research in Latin America and specifically in a rural Peruvian Andean area.
