Strange Situation • The ”Strange Situation" is a laboratory procedure
used to assess infant attachment style. • The procedure consists of eight episodes. • The parent and infant are introduced to the
experimental room. • Then the parent and infant are left alone. Parent does
not participate while infant explores. • The stranger enters, converses with parent, then
approaches infant. • The parent leaves inconspicuously. • During the first separation episode the stranger's
behavior is geared to that of infant.
Strange Situation • During the first reunion episode the parent greets and
comforts infant, then leaves again. • During the second separation episode the infant is alone. • During the second separation episode the stranger
enters and gears behavior to that of infant. • At the second reunion episode the parent enters, greets
infant, and picks up infant; and stranger leaves inconspicuously.
• The infant's behavior upon the parent's return is the basis for classifying the infant into one of three attachment categories.
Patterns of Attachment • Secure infants (about 60%) become upset
when the parent leaves the room, but, when he or she returns, they actively seek the parent and are easily comforted by him or her.
Ambivalent children (about 20% or less) are ill-at-ease initially, and, upon separation, become extremely distressed. Importantly, when reunited with their parents, these children have a difficult time being soothed, and often exhibit conflicting behaviors that suggest they want to be comforted, but that they also want to "punish" the parent for leaving.

Patterns of Attachment
• Avoidant children (about 20%) don't appear too distressed by the separation, and, upon reunion, actively avoid seeking contact with their parent, sometimes turning their attention to play objects on the laboratory floor.
Attachment disorganization
• Originally researchers described three categories (secure, anxious-avoidant and anxious-resistant) and a final category termed “can not classify.” Main and Solomon looked more closely at these unclassifiable infants and found an interesting and consistent pattern that emerged. Some children were particularly ambivalent upon reunion with their attachment figure, both approaching and avoiding contact. Upon reunion some of these infants would walk toward their parent and then collapse on the floor. Others would go in circles and fall to the floor. Some would reach out while backing away.
Attachment disorganization
• These infants appeared to demonstrate a collapse in behavioral and attentional strategies for managing attachment distress. They didn’t display an organized strategy for coping with attachment distress like the other categories (secure would cry and get soothed, avoidant would ignore the parent, resistant would cling), so these infants were termed, disorganized. Bowlby, in his book Attachment and Loss, (1969) described some children in their caregiver’s arms as "arching away angrily while simultaneously seeking proximity.”

Attachment disorganization • Another subgroup of disorganized infants,
however, were not experiencing abuse by their caregivers, which the researchers found to be a curious anomaly. It was discovered that these caregivers had experienced abuse by their parents, but that abuse was still unresolved. It was discovered that when the infant was in need of protection, the caregiver became frightened (may turn away or make subtle frightening faces at the infant). It is believed that attachment disorganization occurs when a parent acts either frightening or frightened in response to the infants need for protection.
