The strange situation is designed to test attachment, specifically the quality and strength of the attachment between a child and their caregiver. It involves a series of separation and reunion episodes to observe how the child responds to the caregiver leaving and returning to the room. This allows researchers to assess the child's attachment style, such as secure, anxious-avoidant, anxious-ambivalent or disorganized.
