Question 10 • CUSD Psychology (5.0)

Children associated with the insecure-avoidant attachment type most likely have caregivers who are __________.

Answer
A
insensitive and unresponsive
B
loving and nurturing
C
inconsistent and insensitive
D
abusive or neglectful

Explanation

Insecure-avoidant attachment is most often associated with caregivers who are emotionally distant or rejecting and do not respond sensitively to a child’s signals. The child may learn not to seek comfort openly because the caregiver is unlikely to respond. So the best answer is “insensitive and unresponsive.”
