John Bowlby on Terminology - Dictionary of Arguments
Corr I 230 Terminology/Bowlby/Shaver/Mikulincer: attachment figure: a person tends automatically to turn for protection and comfort to supportive others (whom Bowlby called attachment figures), and to maintain proximity to these ‘stronger and wiser’ figures until a state of protection and security is attained.(1) Corr I 238 Working models: cognitive structures provide increasingly stable knowledge about the self, relationship partners and close relationships, just as increased experience in any domain contributes to the formation of mental schemas related to those domains. Bowlby (1982/1969(1), 1973(2)) called these cognitive structures working models. From a social cognition standpoint, the concept of working model is similar to such concepts as ‘script’ and ‘social schema’. Like those concepts, working models are viewed as being stored in an associative memory network, as having excitatory and inhibitory connections with other mental representations, and as possessing a certain level of accessibility determined by past experiences and current context (e.g., Collins and Read 1994(3); Mikulincer and Shaver 2007(4); Shaver, Collins and Clark 1996(5)). 1.
