Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Infants' fear of strangers emerges at around the age of 6 or 7 months. This is a normal part of development as infants start to differentiate between familiar and unfamiliar people. The level of fear may vary among infants and can be influenced by the context and the stranger's behavior. Separation anxiety typically emerges a few months earlier, around 4-5 months of age.
