Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The test described is commonly known as the Strange Situation test, which was devised by Mary Ainsworth as a way to assess attachment styles between an infant and their caregiver. Choice A, Infant Detachment, and Choice D, Child Abandonment, are incorrect and inappropriate choices as they are not related to the Ainsworth's test or the concept of attachment. Choice B, Emotional Attachment, is not the precise name of the test and may cause confusion between the different types of attachments that can be identified in the Strange Situation test.
