Feedback
A Incorrect: This type of attachment between mother and baby is not likely an avoidant attachment. In avoidant attachment the infant realizes the caregiver will not always be available to provide comfort. The infant exhibits independent behavior without acknowledging the caregiver prior to separation, exhibits minimal distress during separation, and avoids emotional support offered by the caregiver upon reunion.
B Incorrect: This type of attachment is not disorganized attachment. In this situation the infant is confused and cannot understand how to get physiological and psychological needs met by the caregiver. This infant may be rejected or comforted by the caregiver.
C Correct: This type of attachment between mother and baby is most likely a secure attachment.
D Incorrect: This type of attachment is not strange attachment. Strange is not a type of attachment.
