An internal working model refers to a set of expectations that infants and young children develop about their parents' availability and responsiveness, which they carry with them into adulthood and use as a basis for their future relationships. This includes expectations of how parents will behave in times of stress or need, and forms the basis for the development of attachment styles. Choices B, C, and D all refer to other concepts related to attachment, but do not specifically describe this set of expectations.
