Separation protest declines during which of Bowlby's phases?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Separation protest peaks in the "clear-cut" attachment phase, when the child has developed a strong attachment to the caregiver and begins to actively seek their presence. It begins to decline in the final phase, the formation of a reciprocal relationship, as the child becomes more comfortable with the idea of separation and is able to engage in more independent activities while still maintaining the attachment bond with their caregiver.
