A) Self-reflection
B) Adaptation
C) Attachment
D) Globalization
Ans: C
Bowlby (1969) developed attachment theory, which describes modes by which a young child develops and maintains feelings about the self, as well as values and beliefs about the world. Attachment is a process by which the child maintains security via an interpersonal bond with close caregivers, most notably parents. Through a learning process based on the child's perception of the caregiver's thoughts and reactions toward him or her, the child forms a sense of self as secure or insecure, calm or anxious, likable or not.
