Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research suggests that a disorganized/disoriented attachment style is often associated with a caregiver who is depressed, has experienced a traumatic event, or has unresolved emotional issues. This can result in inconsistent parenting behaviors and confusing messages for the child, leading to a disorganized attachment style. Overstimulation or anoxia at birth are not necessarily linked to this attachment style, and being overly permissive may lead to an avoidant or ambivalent attachment style, but not necessarily disorganized/disoriented.
