Question

_______ babies in Ainsworth's study were clinging and unwilling to explore, very upset by the stranger regardless of the mother's presence, protested mightily when the mother left, were hard to soothe, and had mixed reactions upon mother's return.

Answer 1

The correct answer is Resistant

Mary Ainsworth (1913-1999) collaborated with John Bowlby and devoted herself to the study of the maternal-filial relationship.

In 1969 he developed a technique known as a "strange situation" to study how babies balance their need for attachment and autonomy at different levels of stress.
