Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ainsworth claimed that her three forms of attachment (secure, insecure-avoidant, and insecure-resistant/ambivalent) were formed during the clear-cut attachment stage, which occurs from approximately 6-18 months of age. During this stage, infants demonstrate separation anxiety when their primary caregiver leaves and seek comfort from that caregiver when they return.
