Expert Solution

Correct option is C) avoidant.

In Ainsworth's studies on infant attachment, the avoidant insecure infant show little emotion when the mother returns or departs.

Ainsworth conducted a study using strange situation test to know more about the type of attachment patterns, infants develops with their caregivers.The infants were observed in various conditions, in presence of only caregiver, in presence of stranger with or without caregiver and in situations when caregiver returns after some time. He found the following attachment types - secure, insecure-avoidant and insecure-ambivalent.

Secure infants use caregiver as secure base and are satisfied that their needs will be fulfilled.

Infants with Avoidant attachment do not depend on caregivers for emotional needs or in distress as the caregiver has most likely been distant and insensitive.

Ambivalent attachment pattern involves both seeking the caregiver for affection and rejection of their presence.This occurs when the child is confused because the caregiver's responses are inconsistent.

To study bonding between mothers and infants, a researcher places each mother and her infant in a playroom and has the mother leave for 10 minutes. The researcher records crying time in the sample of infants during this time that the mother was not present and finds that crying time is normally distributed with M = 8 and SD = 1.1. Based on the empirical rule, state the range of crying times within 68% of infants cried, 95% of infants...
