Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Inconsistent or insensitive responses from the mother can lead to a lack of trust and security in the infant, resulting in anxious-ambivalent or avoidant attachments. Secure attachments are typically formed when the mother consistently responds to the infant's needs and creates a secure base from which the infant can explore the environment. Separation is not related to the type of attachment formed.
