Question: 1 / 400

What type of attachment does an infant form when their needs are met consistently and attentively?

Secure attachment

An infant forms a secure attachment when their needs are met consistently and attentively, meaning they are able to form positive relationships with their caregivers and have a sense of safety and trust in their environment. Insecure attachment, on the other hand, can be formed when a child's needs are inconsistently met or are not met at all, leading to anxiety, mistrust, and difficulty forming relationships in the future. Option C, avoidant attachment, involves a child avoiding attachment or emotional connection with their caregiver due to a lack of consistent care. Option D, detached attachment, is not a recognized attachment style and does not accurately describe the relationship between an infant and their caregiver. Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
