b. the bonding relationship between infant and caregiver leads to infantile narcissism.
c. the bonding relationship between infant and caregiver results in a neurotic symbiotic relationship.
d. the infant need not be responsive to the caregiver, because a devoted caregiver will satisfy the infant’s needs unconditionally.

Answer 1

a) The relationship between infant and caregiver becomes a model for future interpersonal relations.

Step-by-step explanation:

THIS THEORY WAS GIVEN BY JOHN BOWL BY AND MARY AINS WORTH.

This theory focuses on the negative effects of maternal deprivation when a mother absents for two years life span of a child. Mother is the main figure from which a child creates a special bonding. If infant gets deprivation from mother side there will be negative consequences on development causing a decline in cognitive functioning leads depression, anxiety, and psychopathy. Thus a healthy and secure attachment with parents creates a healthy interpersonal relationship between parents and infants.
