Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The disorganized/disoriented attachment pattern is the least common form of attachment to the primary caregiver. This attachment pattern is characterized by an inconsistent and often fearful response to the caregiver, with the child appearing disoriented and confused in their interactions. The secure attachment pattern is the most common and is characterized by a strong bond between the child and caregiver. The resistant and avoidant attachment patterns are also relatively common but involve different strategies for coping with the caregiver's absence or inconsistency.
