kagan’s temperament hypothesis
Kagan’s temperament hypothesis is that temperament, and not attachment quality, drives children’s behavior in the Strange Situation. So, Kagan thinks that it is not a history of the parent being inconsistently responsive to the child that leads to him/her crying a lot during the Strange Situation and being classified as resistant (this is what attachment theory would tell us), but that the child has an inhibited temperament and is crying a lot because they are afraid of the novel environment and stranger.
