Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In Bowlby's second phase of attachment, which occurs from about 3 to 6 months of age, the baby begins to direct his or her attachment behaviors more selectively towards familiar people, rather than showing equal sociability to everyone. This phase is characterized by the baby starting to distinguish between familiar and unfamiliar people, narrowing down the targets of attachment behavior, which leads to the formation of stronger attachments in the subsequent phases.
