28 unweaned babies were observed every 2 weeks for 2 hours at a time for 9 months.
Ainsworth used an interpreter as well as various rating scales to measure maternal sensitivity.
The strange situation was observed and interviews were conducted.

Categorization of children correlated significantly with ratings of mother’s sensitivity: Avoidant- Child appears indifferent when mother leaves and avoids mother when she comes back. Securely attached-Child is upset when mother leaves and is happy to see her again. Ambivalent- Child is upset when mother leaves, and when mother comes back the child seeks comfort but also rejects it.
