@fryrsquared: I've obviously simplified the actual study! It's been replicated many times over but if you want to read the original: Attachment, exploration, and separation: Illustrated by the behavior of one-year-olds in a strange situation by M.D.S. Ainsworth and S. M. Bell (1970) or the book that came after: Patterns of attachment: a psychological study of the strange situation by M.D.S. Ainsworth, M.C. Blehar, E. Waters, and S. Wall (1978)
Great one my baby son is completely new style when the mum comes back he goes berserk and uncontrollable throwing things around stomping and crying for next 30 minutes Any study on which attachment style both in relationship should have to have a healthy and long lasting relationship .

Bowlby’s Attachment theory is seriously flawed though, which this is based on. It’s important that people research the criticisms of it too ❤️

What’s the style when the baby doesn’t cry when Mum leaves the room?

@Aimon: Unless they were all raised exactly the same way this is a flawed study. Those babies may have already learned the style perhaps based on how their mother treats them.

Disorganised attachment is a combination of all three 🙃

As former foster carers and adopters where children often don’t have those core relationships as babies we see how the lack of any attachment affects hugely as developing children and then when they become adults.

So what did the mom or anyone could have done to enable the switch to ‘secure attachment’ style?

I have so many questions! Were birth order and mother's temperament when playing/leaving considered? What about repeating it with siblings (long term approach)? What a fascinating study.

out of curiosity, what happens when both parents walk in and the baby goes to the Dad ignoring the mum?

Yes, There’s soooo much evidence around this to back up how our relational patterns are formed in our early relationships. As a psychotherapist, I see it over and over. But like you say, good news is you can move towards more secure relationships.
