In the assessment of childhood attachment by using the Strange Situation, children are more likely to be securely attached if they have sensitive mothers. And children are more likely to be insecurely attached if they have non-sensitive mothers, for example, those who respond to the child's needs incorrectly or who are impatient or ignore the child.
<h3>What is the Strange Situation test in child psychology?</h3>
The strange situation measures how a child responds to reunions and separations with the parent to assess the early security of attachment represented in the Attachment Theory. The Strange Situation Procedure (SSP) was developed as a valid method of measuring attachment in infants.
