Answer to Question 2

A secure attachment represents a relationship in which infants have come to trust and depend on their mothers. Avoidant attachment is a relationship in which infants turn away from their mothers when they are reunited following a brief separation. Resistant attachment is a relationship in which, after a brief separation, infants want to be held but are difficult to console. Disorganized attachment is a relationship in which infants don't seem to understand what's happening when they are separated and later reuinited with their mothers. An infant's internal working model is a set of expectations about parents' availability and responsiveness in general and in times of stress. It is believed to influence close relationships throughout the child's life. The type of attachment infants have with their primary caregivers influence their internal beliefs and expectations about that relationship and, in turn, impacts the quality of future attachments and relationships.
