Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Marisa's neglect of her infant daughter's cries for attention is likely to result in an insecure attachment style. This means that the child may struggle to form healthy relationships and may experience difficulty regulating her own emotions, as a result of not having her emotional needs met during infancy. Egocentrism, object permanence, and self-awareness are not directly related to the child's attachment style or Marisa's neglect.
