Question

Aaron is 12 months old, and his uncle Frank is visiting for the first time in 6 months. Frank is delighted to see his nephew, so as he enters the room, he booms, "There's my little man!" Aaron looks to his mother, who is smiling broadly at her brother Frank, and crawls to her to be picked up. Aaron is demonstrating:

A. Social referencingB. Attachment disorderC. Social phobiaD. Insecure attachment

Answer 1

A. Social referencing

Step-by-step explanation:

Social referral is a term that refers to the mechanism that allows babies to display recognition and affection for someone or an object. An example of this is when babies who are in the presence of strangers, or people they do not often see, show themselves to be closer to their parents as a sign of recognition, security, and affection, as Aaron did. Aron doesn't see his uncle frank often, so he always runs close to his mother when his uncle approaches.
