Question

Marcy is 15 months old, and her father is insensitive and inattentive to her needs. Marcy reacts to him the same way she reacts to a stranger—she doesn’t care if he leaves the room and when he returns she is slow to notice or react. What kind of attachment is this?

Answer 1

Avoidant is the answer (i found the answer on quizlet)

Answer 2

Avoidant

Step-by-step explanation:

This type of attachment is also called detachment and is characterized by the child who is no longer heard in their needs. This experience causes the child to reach adulthood and experience a sense of abandonment and exile, leaving his self-esteem wounds and creates a distrust of bonding with others.

This type of avoidant attachment is a result of the behavior of the parents who have encouraged the independence of the children from an early age, that is, it does not agree with the child's vital age. For example, parents can minimize the meaning of the child's crying with the belief that they do not spoil it in excess.
