Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Yasmine's behavior of becoming angry when her parents are not available shows that she has developed a preoccupied/ambivalent attachment style. This means that she is anxious about whether her parents will be there for her or not, and may seek attention from them in an attempt to feel secure. However, when they are not available, she becomes angry and confused. This pattern of behavior often develops in children who have inconsistent parenting or who experience frequent changes in their caregivers' availability.
