Question 3

In the Strange Situation paradigm, the child most likely to accept comfort from the stranger is the _______ attached child.
A) anxiously
B) avoidantly
C) securely
D) A and C

Accepted Answer

Avoidantly attached children are more likely to accept comfort from a stranger because they tend to avoid or ignore the caregiver, showing little preference between the caregiver and a stranger. This behavior is part of their strategy to deal with the lack of responsiveness or inconsistency from their primary attachment figures.

Question 4

In the Strange Situation paradigm, the researchers were interested in the child's emotional reaction when ...
A) the stranger enters
B) the mother leaves
C) the stranger leaves
D) the mother returns
E) B and D

Accepted Answer

The Strange Situation paradigm was designed to observe the child's attachment behavior and emotional reaction when the mother leaves (item B) and when she returns (item D). However, the presence of a stranger (item A) and their interactions with the child are also important to observe, as they can impact the child's attachment behavior. Additionally, the child's reaction when the stranger leaves the room (item C) can provide insight into their comfort level with unfamiliar individuals. Therefore, the best choice is E, as all of these items capture important aspects of the child's emotional reactions and attachment behavior in the Strange Situation paradigm.
