Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Children who are securely attached are likely to have a strong trust in other people, in addition to their parents. They feel safe exploring their environment and interacting with other people knowing that their parents are available and supportive. They do not exhibit psychopathology or heightened aggressiveness. They may experience some distress when their parents are absent, but this is typically temporary, and they are able to seek comfort from other adults. Helplessness is not a characteristic associated with secure attachment.
