Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

An infant that is calmed quickly and easily on reunion is displaying signs of which type of attachment?

A	Insecure-avoidant
B	Insecure-disorganised
C	Insecure-resistant
D	Secure

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Securely attached infants are easily soothed by the attachment figure when upset. Infants develop a secure attachment when the caregiver is sensitive to their signals, and responds appropriately to their needs.

Detailed explanation-2: -The major determinant of the infant’s pattern of attachment (secure, avoidant, ambivalent, or disorganized) appears to be the quality of care the primary caregiver(s) provides.

Detailed explanation-3: -Securely-attached children explore the room freely when their mothers are present, and they act friendly towards the stranger. After their mothers leave the room, they may become distressed and inhibited – exploring less, and avoiding the stranger.

Detailed explanation-4: -Insecure–resistant attachment is characterized by the young child who can signal his distress but has great difficulty getting effective comfort from the caregiver.
