Name the four primary types of attachment relationships observed by Ainsworth. Describe the typical reaction of infants with each type of attachment to the separation and reunion episodes of the Strange Situation procedure

What will be an ideal response?


A good answer will include the following key points:
- Secure attachment — The baby may or may not cry when the mother leaves, but when she returns, the baby wants to be with her and if the baby is crying, it stops.
- Avoidant attachment — The baby is not upset when the mother leaves and when she returns, may ignore her by looking or turning away.
- Resistant attachment — The baby is upset when the mother leaves and remains upset or even angry when she returns, and is difficult to console.
- Disorganized (disoriented) attachment — The baby seems confused when the mother leaves and when she returns, acts as if it doesn't really understand what's happening.
