State
Ainsworth's Strange Situation is a structured observation assessing attachment through an infant's response to separation and reunion.
Show
A caregiver leaves and returns twice while the infant's exploration and reunion behavior are coded.
Watch for
The reunion is what is scored, not the separation. Distress at leaving distinguishes little.
