When put on the floor to play, Lillian cries as if she wants to be held. When her mother picks her up, Lillian pushes her away with both arms and turns her head away. Mary Ainsworth would say that Lillian is a(n) ________ baby.
a. insecure avoidant
b. insecure resistant
c. securely attached
d. insecure disorganized

Respuesta :

Answer:

d) insecure disorganized

Explanation:

  • In the insecure avoidant attachment, the baby will pay little or no attention to the caregiver and will show little to none emotion when the caregiver departs or when the caregiver returns.
  • In the insecure resistant attachment, the babies tends to experience a lot of distress when the caregiver goes away and they continue in distress when the caregiver returns.
  • In the insecure disorganized attachment, the babies want the caregiver close when they leave, but once the caregiver comes back, the babies will show odd or ambivalent behaviour (running to them and then running away or hitting the caregiver)
  • In the securely attached attachment, babies are upset when the caregiver leaves but they soon start exploring by their own and seem happy when the caregiver returns.

Lilian seems upset when her mom goes away and cries wanting to be held, however, when the mom comes back she pushes her away and turns her head away, therefore, we could say that Lilian is an insecure disorganized baby.
