4 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank Bob and Sherri Marvin, Inge Bretherton, Donelda Stayton and Silvia Bell, who were kind enough to invite me into their homes and talk to me for hours (or, in Bob Marvin s case, for days) about their time with Mary Ainsworth. They provided me with insights and helped me get a glimpse of the person behind the researcher. I also thank Helen LeRoy for allowing me to explore the Harlow archives for weeks and for answering my many questions. Everybody made me feel very welcome and I have fond memories of these visits. I am grateful for the support and help I received from my colleagues in Leiden, and I want to thank Gea and Esther especially for their efficiency and eternal patience. I received much very welcome encouragement from my family and friends, which made it all seem even more worthwhile. Thank you. Last but not least I thank Spongebob for entertaining my children while I was working all hours Eddy, Austine and Beaudine, thanks for your patience. Turn off the telly now, I m back. 153

8 CURRICULUM VITAE Lenny van Rosmalen werd geboren op 13 januari 1965 te Den Haag, maar verhuisde op vierjarige leeftijd naar Oss. Daar bezocht ze het Maasland College alwaar zij haar Atheneum diploma behaalde in Datzelfde jaar verhuisde Lenny naar Londen waar zij een vierjarige avondopleiding tot mode-ontwerpster aan het Westminster College volgde. Overdag was zij werkzaam als grafisch specialiste voor een organisatieadviesbureau, Arthur D. Little. In 1992 verliet zij Londen om anderhalf jaar te reizen door Zuid Amerika, Afrika en Azië. In 1994 vestigde Lenny zich weer in Nederland en werkte daar opnieuw als grafisch specialiste voor Arthur D. Little, dit maal in Rotterdam. In de avonduren volgde zij de opleiding journalistieke-, documentaire- en portretfotografie aan de Fotoacademie in Amsterdam. Toen Lenny, na de geboorte van haar zoon, in verwarring werd gebracht door de grote hoeveelheid tegenstrijdig opvoedingsadvies die ouders tot hun beschikking hebben, besloot zij de opleiding Pedagogische Wetenschappen te volgen aan de Universiteit Leiden, en behaalde in 2003 haar doctoraal (cum laude) met de afstudeerrichting Gezinspedagogiek. Haar doctoraalscriptie over het moreel redeneren van delinquente jongeren leidde tot een publicatie. Inmiddels had Lenny Arthur D. Little in 2002 verlaten en was les gaan geven in de Nederlandse en Engelse taal op het Overbosch College, een VMBO-school in Den Haag. In 2007 werd zij onderwijsmedewerkster en vervolgens docente bij de afdeling Algemene en Gezinspedagogiek van de Universiteit Leiden. In 2011 begon Lenny haar promotietraject waarvan de resultaten voor u liggen. Lenny van Rosmalen was born on 13 January 1965 in The Hague, The Netherlands, but at the age of four she moved to Oss where she grew up and passed her A-levels at Maasland College in That same year Lenny moved to London and started studying Fashion Design at Westminster College, while simultaneously holding a position as graphics specialist at a business consultancy firm, Arthur D. Little. In 1992 Lenny left London to travel extensively in South America, Afrika and Asia. In 1994 she moved back to The Netherlands and worked for Arthur D. Little in Rotterdam, again as graphics specialist. In the evenings she studied photography at the Fotoacademie in Amsterdam. After the birth of her son, Lenny was confused by all the contradictory parenting advice she encountered while trying to find the best way to raise him, and she decided to study child raising at the Institute for Child and Family Studies at Leiden University. She graduated in 2003 (cum laude) and her graduate thesis regarding the moral reasoning of juvenile delinquents was subsequently published. In the meantime, Lenny had left Arthur D. Little in 2002 to start teaching English and Dutch at Overbosch College, a secondary school in The Hague. In 2007 she started working at Leiden University, first as teaching assistent, and soon after as lecturer. In 2011 Lenny began working on her dissertation, the results of which are described in this thesis. 157
