Founder Award
Norbert Bischof
For Advancing Attachment Study Through The Use of Control Systems Theory and Computational Modeling.
2011 Awardees
This year’s Awards acknowledge two senior scholars. One is a student of von Holst and Lorenz, whose work has made computational modeling a growing focus in attachment study. The other is an exceptionally creative researcher whose meta-analytic work has helped summarize the explosion of empirical findings that have flowed from Bowlby’s and Ainsworth’s insights.
We also recognize young contributors from Colombia and Portugal who, in addition to their empirical research, have advanced attachment study and helped guarantee its future through their teaching and generous mentoring.
Finally, this year’s awards recognize a scholar and friend of Mary Ainsworth whose commitment to observational research, generous mentoring, and support for the attachment research enterprise reflect and sustain the Bowlby-Ainsworth tradition.
