Thanks so much for posting. This is amazingly useful!

Glad I found this video. My dumb mean teacher would not give the name to students who missed it. She did not notify us and its not on the syllabus either. Found so much stuff online about it :)

Yes 87valeria87 you are correct, i'm an A level psychology teacher and i use this video to teach my class about the strange situation! Sorry Ygborgo, securely attached infants do show distress on the caregiver leaving, which shows that the attachment has been formed. If they didnt get upset on their caregiver leaving then they wouldn't be securely attached.

developmental psychologist here. and yes, the child is securely attached. Ygborgo, how can the child feel safe to explore the environment from her secure base when her secure base has left the room?

terrible spelling and name-calling does not help!

[87valeria87]

...(and Lisa does that)

-re-activation of the exploration system in presence of the mother.

You can't say that she should be conforable going out on her own...she's at most 12/13 months....she wouldn't be able to!

So...I'm reporting what you said before:

"Don't talk about something you don't know noting about you dumb ass"

[87valeria87]

Sorry Ygborgo but I have to contradict you. I'm graduating in psychology so I know what I'm talking about!

Secure attachment is characterised by:

-a good explporation of the setting and a good interaction with the toys when the mother is with the baby (and Lisa does that)

-sadness and"despair" when the mother leaves the baby alone or with a stranger activating the attachment system (and Lisa does)

-happyness and ease of consolation on the part of the mother when she goes back in the room...

87valeria87 thats wrong if the baby had a secure attachment it would feel comfortable going out and experimenting in the world on its own, as it has a secure base to return to.

[detbenson]

Do you have any research to back this up? Tests? Studies? Video footage, anything? Didn't think so.

[ygborgo]

Mary Ainsworth did this to test stranger anxiety and seperation anxiety. She based this on a Theory by John Bowlby, this was, that there r 4 different types of children.

[ygborgo]

Secure attachment, insecure avoidant, insecure resistant and insecure disorganised. The insecure avoidant would give no responce 2 departure nd avoid contact, the insecure resistant would seek and reject contact wth conflicting desires, however the Secure attachment not get upset on departure, would be able to play wth toys as it feels safe and would be easily comforted by Caregiver. This was an experiment for the theory .

[ygborgo]

Don't talk about something you don't know noting about you dumb ass. And i couldn't tell everything about this cause of the limited amount of characters.

[TTUdoll]

@ygborgo Correction: Don't talk about something you (no don't) know notHing* about,(that's a comma) you dumb ass. And I* couldn't tell everything about this, (yet another comma) because* of the limited amount of characters.

There.. now you can at least be grammatically correct when making a fool of your self.

ethical issues! poor lisa :(

[Brunvand]

Technically the only quality of attachment worth worrying about is if the child was disorganized. However it is a good thing that this child's secure base is her mother

[87valeria87]

The baby has got a safe attachment.Good for her future :)
