4 Types of Attachment Secure Insecure-avoidant Insecure-resistant Disorganised

Types of Attachment Secure Strong, content bond 22% Secure Strong, content bond Result of sensitive responding by care-giver to needs Results in comfortable social interaction and intimacy Healthy cognitive and emotional development In Strange Situation = Not likely to cry when caregiver leaves the room Seeks close proximity when anxious Easily soothed May be reluctant to leave caregiver’s side prematurely Uses caregiver as secure base to explore – independent 66% I – avoidant (anxious) Avoids social interaction and intimacy due to lack of sensitive responding by caregiver In Strange Situation = Little response to separation Do not seek proximity on reunion Do not cling or resist if being picked up or put down Happy to explore with or without caregiver High levels of anxiety May exhibit anger due to unmet needs

Types of Attachment I- resistant (ambivalent) Main and Solomon (1986) = re-analysis of 200 Strange Situation tapes Types of Attachment 12% I- resistant (ambivalent) Both seek and reject intimacy and social interaction In Strange Situation = Immediate and intense distress upon separation Conflicting desire for and against contact Disorganised Lack of consistent patterns of social behaviour Lacks coherent strategy for coping with separation Strong attachment behaviour followed by -avoidance -fearful/anxious behaviour -odd movements like stumbling but only when caregiver is present!
