In one longitudinal study spanning over 20 years, 12 month-old infants with a secure attachment style

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The passage states that infants with a secure attachment style were "more socially competent in elementary school." This suggests that they had better social skills and were more successful in forming relationships with their peers, which is supported by research on attachment theory. Option A is incorrect because secure infants tend to have more positive adult relationships than avoidant ones. Option B is also incorrect because the passage does not provide any information on the number of friends secure infants have. Option D is not supported by the passage and is unlikely, given that deep romantic relationships generally do not occur until adolescence or later.
