Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Infants who are classified as insecure-avoidant tend to turn away from the mother when she returns to the room, indicating they are not particularly distressed by her absence and do not seek contact or comfort upon her return. Securely attached infants, on the other hand, tend to actively seek contact with their mother when she returns, while insecure-ambivalent infants may exhibit clingy, inconsistent behavior in response to separation and reunion with their caregiver.
