A family comes to visit you in your doctor's office. The toddler they bring stays firmly put on her mother's lap and will not explore any of the toys provided in the room
Her mother briefly steps outside to throw something away and the child immediately screams. When the mother returns, the child hugs the mother's leg but also shoves it away using her lower leg. The mother is unable to calm and soothe her child. Although you cannot test for attachment in your office, you likely guess that this child has a:
a. secure attachment
b. insecure–avoidant attachment
c. insecure–resistant attachment
d. disorganized–disoriented attachment
C. Toddlers classified as insecure–resistant are less likely than others to explore toys when the mother is present, and they show greater distress when she leaves the room. When she returns, they show ambivalence, running to greet the mother in seeming relief but then pushing her away when she attempts to comfort or pick them up.
