Psychology / Unit 8 Psych 0906 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Secure Attachment
Captions available
The idea
Securely attached infants explore freely with the caregiver present, show distress at separation, and are comforted at reunion.
In practice
The infant cries when the caregiver leaves, seeks contact on return, and resumes playing within a minute.
Where people slip
Security is defined by the recovery, not by the absence of distress.
