Describe how differently attached children will react in the Strange Situation experiment.

What will be an ideal response?

Securely attached babies use the caregiver as a secure base from which to explore the environment. When the caregiver departs, the child protests mildly and reestablishes positive interaction upon return. Insecurely avoidant babies show insecurity by avoiding the mother. They engage in little interaction and display little distress when the caregiver leaves. On the caregiver's return, the child does not reestablish contact and may lean or look away if the caregiver makes contact. Insecurely resistant babies cling to the caregiver and then resist her by fighting against the closeness. In the Strange Situation, these babies often cling anxiously to the caregiver and don't explore the playroom. When the caregiver leaves, they often cry loudly and push away if she tries to comfort them on her return. Insecure disorganized babies are disoriented. In the Strange Situation, they appear dazed, confused, or fearful. To be classified as disorganized, strong patterns of avoidance and resistance or certain select behaviors must be shown around the caregiver.
