Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The disorganized attachment style is characterized by inconsistent and unpredictable behavior towards the caregiver, as well as a lack of coherent coping strategies in response to stress or fear. Children with a disorganized style may appear dazed or confused, freeze, or show contradictory behaviors such as clinging and pushing away.
