Answer to Question 2

In the Strange Situation, first used by Mary Ainsworth to assess attachment pattern, an infant or child is kept in a room first with its mother. After a while, a stranger (member of the experiment team) enters the room. Then the mother leaves the room while the infant or child remains with the stranger. The mother returns to the room. During each of these phases of the experiment, the infant or child's behavior is recorded. The behavior is examined to see whether the infant or child explores its environment, shows distress or wariness when the stranger arrives, and distress or upset when the mother leaves. The infant or child is also assessed when the mother returns to see how the infant or child reacts to their mother's return, such as whether it goes right up to the mother or ignores her. The combination of these reactions are examined and determined to be in one of several categories of attachment pattern.
