THREE MAIN STAGES OF ATTACHMENT STYLES BY MARY AINSWORTH

Mary Ainsworth has identified three main attachment styles which are based on the experiments with infants, which are as follow:

1. Secure
2. Insecure avoidant
3. Insecure ambivalent  

Mary Ainsworth has concluded by saying that these styles of attachment are the result of an individual’s early interactions with his mother. The children who come in the category of insecure avoidant are independent of attachment figure, both emotionally and physically. These children exhibit both rejections and clingy behavior during their interactions with attachment figure.

Answer 2

Mary Ainsworth identified three main attachment styles based on her experiments with infants: secure, insecure avoidant and insecure ambivalent/resistant. She also concluded that these attachment styles were the result of early interactions with the mother.

Insecure avoidant children are very independent of the attachment figure, both physically and emotionally. Moreover, they do not seek to be soothed by the attachment figure. On the other hand, the insecure ambivalent infant will often exhibit both clingy behaviour and rejection during interactions with the attachment figure.

Securely attached children trust the attachment figure to be there in order to full their needs. They seek the attachment figure in times of distress and are easily soothed by this figure when upset. This is likely because the attachment figure is sensitive and responds well to the baby's needs.
