The Strange Situation Experiment

A colleague of bolbis called mary ainsworth an. started to study the dynamics of infant and parent separation. In particular, whet an experiment that she devised. The child is there feeling nice and happy because the mother is present. And then what happens is a stranger is introduced to the room,. someone whom the child doesn't know. So the child might be a bit weird about this. They're like, who's this new person? I don't know who this person is. Are they are they a threat? Are they nice? But the child turns round and goes, well, there's my ma over there so i'm safe regardless.
