The idea
Structured observation gives every participant the same set tasks and records their responses, so observations can be compared.
In practice
Ainsworth's Strange Situation: a stranger enters, the caregiver leaves, and later the caregiver returns.
Where people slip
The procedure measures infant attachment, and the moment of reunion with the caregiver is the most telling.
