Accepted Answer

Separation anxiety is typically seen in the discriminate stage of attachment, which occurs around 7-9 months of age. Infants become upset when separated from their primary caregiver and may protest or cry until they are reunited. In the preattachment/asocial stage, infants do not exhibit separation anxiety because they are not yet attached to a specific caregiver. In the indiscriminate stage, infants may show some preference for familiar adults but are still generally comfortable with strangers. In the multiple stage, infants may have formed attachments with multiple caregivers but still show separation anxiety primarily towards their primary attachment figure.
