Question

“Now I know what's wrong with me," she said, "I'm just a wire mother." Based on your understanding of Harlow’s experiments, describe this mother’s parenting style. Be sure to include a description of Harlow’s wire mother and cloth mother in your response.

Answer 1

1. I think this mother is more-so the authoritarian style. I think this because it says the wire mother isn't warm and tender. Maybe the woman that thinks she is a wire mother doesn't hold her children or show them as much love as she should. The cloth mother was warm, soft, tender, and more preferred by the baby monkeys. So I think the woman didn't treat her children with lenience or show them as much love and care as she should have.
