Babies in John Bowlby's _______ phase display separation anxiety.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Separation anxiety is a key feature of the "clear-cut" attachment phase, which typically begins at around 6-8 months of age and lasts until around 18-24 months of age. During this phase, infants actively seek proximity to their primary caregiver and become visibly upset when separated from them. The other phases listed (preattachment, "attachment in the making," formation of a reciprocal relationship) do not involve separation anxiety to the same degree.
