Difficulty: 2

Question ID: 6.4-1

Topic: Attachment

Skill: Conceptual

Answer: Bowlby’s theory states that attachment comes from behaviors that increase the baby’s chance of survival.

Infants use smiling, crying, and seeking to stay near their caregivers. Harlow showed it is contact comfort, not just

food as oral gratification or reinforcement, that causes attachment. Ainsworth demonstrated that stranger anxiety and

separation anxiety keep infants near their caregivers, which ensures safety and survival.

Answer: Students should explain the groups used in the research and the observed results, as well as specifically

addressing the issue of contact comfort. Infants were separated from their mothers and raised with 2 types of

surrogates: wire mesh and cloth. Food was available from one of the two surrogates. Even when the wire surrogate

provided food, infants spent the most time with the cloth mother. When a feared stimulus was introduced into the

cage, infants went to the cloth mother. Contact comfort was more important to the infants than which mother

provided food.

wariness of strangers, and uses the caregiver as a base for exploration.

–Insecure-avoidant is an unhealthy type of attachment where infants do not use their caregiver as a base for

exploration, are not distressed by separation from their caregivers, and do not prefer their caregivers over unfamiliar

adults.

–Insecure-resistant is an unhealthy attachment that is demonstrated by infants seeking proximity to their caregivers

but not gaining comfort from contact with their caregivers.

–Insecure-disorganized is an unhealthy type of attachment indicated when infants seem dazed or confused, or show

contradictory behaviors in the Strange Situation.

repeated exposure, gradually develops a quiet and positive interest.
