Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Although Jean spends most of her waking hours in day care and with her nanny, research has shown that the quality of attachment to parents is not determined solely by the amount of time spent with them, but rather by the quality of care and interaction when they are together. Given that Jean's parents likely have a few hours a day to interact with her, it is possible for them to establish a secure attachment with her. Therefore, it is most likely that Jean's attachment to her parents is the strongest of all her attachments.
