📝 Quick Notes
Attachment
Key points: Types of attachment patterns (secure, avoidant, anxious-ambivalent, disorganised), Bowlby's theory, Ainsworth's Strange Situation, attachment in adulthood and romantic relationships.
Late Adulthood — Retirement & Ego Integrity vs Despair
Key points: Erikson's Stage 8 — ego integrity (life satisfaction) vs despair (regret), adjustment to retirement, leisure activities in old age. Note: This overlaps heavily with "Psychosocial Development in Late Adulthood" (high priority) — studying that topic covers this as well.
Tip: Both of these topics frequently appear as Section C short notes (100 words). If you have studied the high-priority late adulthood topic, you already know most of what's needed for these.
