Secure: able in mothers presence, distressed when she leaves and 3.) Anxious-resistant: Resists stranger and mother. Main et al explored the kin between mothers behaviours and type of attachment and found that mothers who themselves had satisfactory attachment experiences would have children who were securely attached.
Ainsworths procedure has been replicated many propagation to see whether the categorisations tell good reliability over quantify and the category percentages are similar across all cultures. However, Ainsworth failed to show good test-retest reliability in her replications of the strange situation classification, other studies have found a fairly stable classification over time, certainly with secure children. Wartner et al found that 78% of children between the ages of 1 and 6 in Germany were classified in ainsworths categories showing that the strange situation classification has consistent results between the type of attachment at infancy and relationships in later(prenominal) life, therefore we can assume that it has predictive validity.
