Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mary Ainsworth's research found that the majority of children had a secure attachment style. In her famous "strange situation" procedure, around 60% of children were classified as securely attached, while the remaining 40% were divided between insecure-anxious, insecure-avoidant, and disorganized attachment styles. However, the question specifically asks for the majority, which would be the largest group, which is the secure attachment style.
