Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research suggests that the disorganized/disoriented attachment pattern is as stable as attachment security, meaning that infants who display this pattern are likely to continue displaying it throughout their early years. In contrast, infants with an insecure attachment style (avoidant or ambivalent) may shift to a different style over time as they experience different relationships and environments. Additionally, while low-SES families with many daily stressors may see an increase in attachment security over time, the stability of attachment quality is generally higher in more favorable family conditions.
