| summary | Attachment is a well-known grand theory for mother-child relationship to value positivity between mother and child. But negativity is also important and necessary for independence of offspring as Sociobiology argues in a topic of mother-offspring conflict. Kowakare, a Japanese term originally used to describe offspring independence triggered by the mother’s aggression directed to the offspring, is a new framework to explain an adaptive function of the negativity in human mother-infant relationship. Human Kowakare has two frameworks of biological inter-body antagonism and socio-cultural allomothering compensating the antagonism. Based on my studies I would like to discuss the neglected adaptive function of the negativity in the development of mother-infant relationship. |
