Answer to Question 1

Answer: The four types of attachment are secure attachment, preoccupied attachment, dismissing attachment, and fearful attachment. Secure attachment scores low in anxiety and low in avoidance. Preoccupied attachment scores high in anxiety and low in avoidance. Dismissing attachment scores low in anxiety and high in avoidance. Fearful attachment scores high in anxiety and high in avoidance.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: One-year-old children and their mothers would come to a lab and meet another adult. Then the mother would leave the room. Almost all babies cried or looked upset when their mothers would leave the room, but they differed in how they reacted when their mothers returned. Securely attached babies smiled and looked happy to see their mothers. Anxious babies kept crying after their mothers returned and were difficult to comfort. Avoidant babies looked away from their mothers and refused to acknowledge them.
