Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dara's ambivalent attachment style is characterized by inconsistency in her mother's responses to her needs for reassurance. Therefore, the best answer is D, as it states that Kendra is likely to respond inconsistently to Dara's requests for reassurance. Option A (Kendra being especially sensitive to Dara's emotional state) and option B (Kendra being completely insensitive to Dara's needs for reassurance) are both extreme and unlikely to be accurate. Option C (Kendra responding to Dara's requests for reassurance) is too vague and does not address the inconsistency that characterizes ambivalent attachment.
