Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lee Ann's behavior of rushing to greet and hug her mother's legs upon her return indicates that she feels secure and comfortable with her mother, which is a characteristic of securely attached children according to Ainsworth's research. Insecure-avoidant children usually show little emotion when their caregiver leaves and returns, insecure-ambivalent children show mixed emotions and clinginess when their caregiver returns, and disorganized-disoriented children exhibit confused and disoriented behavior in their attachment relationships.
