Answer to Question 1

ANSWER: True

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER: (1) Secure attachment. The infant uses a parent or other family member as a secure base, strongly prefers the parent over a stranger, actively seeks contact with the parent, and is easily comforted by the parent after being absent. This type of attachment describes the majority of infant-parent relationships worldwide.
(2.)Avoidant attachment. The infant is usually not distressed by parental separation and may avoid the parent or prefer a stranger when the parent returns. (3) Resistant attachment. The infant seeks closeness to the parent and resists exploring the environment, usually displays angry behavior after the parent returns, and is difficult to comfort. (4) Disoriented attachment. The infant shows inconsistent attachment and reacts to the parent returning with confused or contradictory behavior (looking away when held or showing a dazed facial expression).
