Job loss, a failing marriage, financial difficulties, or parental psychological problems

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

These life stressors can indirectly affect attachment by interfering with the parent's ability to be sensitive and responsive to their child's needs. This can lead to inconsistent or unavailable caregiving, which can undermine attachment security. While these stressors may not directly cause disoriented/disorganized attachment in infancy, they can contribute to it by disrupting the parent-child relationship.
