Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that a child's temperament, or their individual differences in emotional reactivity and self-regulation, can influence the attachment process. For example, a child who is more easily upset and has difficulty calming down may be more challenging for a caregiver to comfort and may experience more difficulty forming a secure attachment. On the other hand, a child who is more easy-going and adaptable may be more likely to form a secure attachment with a caregiver.
