Which is a plausible reason why participants with the attachment style investigated are
less likely to seek support from others in times of stress?
A.
Participants think that others are reluctant to get close to them.
B.
Participants find it difficult to trust and depend on others.
C.
Participants do not worry that they will be abandoned by others.
D.
Participants want to merge completely with others and this desire pushes people away.
- Answer B
B is correct because when people display an avoidant behavior, they are in a fragile
mindset in which they try to avoid contact in any manner, because they are feeling
insecure. Insecurity is a result of difficulty to trust.
As infants, what type of parent-infant interaction most likely occurred for the
participants?
A.
A confused infant-parent bond that is characterized by mixed separation anxiety and a
tendency for the infant to resist and have a dazed behavior
B.
An infant-parent bond that is characterized by some separation anxiety and a tendency
for the infant to seek contact with the parent after separation
C.
An infant-parent bond that is characterized by strong separation anxiety and a tendency
for the infant to resist contact with the parent after separation
D.
An insecure infant-parent bond that is characterized by little separation anxiety and a

definition in choice D because avoidant attachment has little separation anxiety and
prefers to be isolated.
