ainsworth strange situation experiment

A

studied infant attachment
How infants respond to the parent during reunions reveal the children’s emotional ties to their parent
- children’s learned behavior strategy of interacting with the mother.
-To determine the quality of the parent-child relationships, video recordings of infants in Ainsworth’s Strange Situation procedure are coded in order to classify a child into attachment types. The classification is based primarily on how infants behave when the mother leaves and returns. Other information that contributes to the coding includes how upset the infants become, how much they cry, and whether and when they show positive emotion.
