Types of attachment were identified experimentally as a psychologist-researcher Mary Ainswoth in the mid-20th century. She conducted an experiment "strange situation", where a child under the age of 1 year were 3 phase.
Phase 1 - the child is sitting in the room with the mother in an unfamiliar situation (new room for a child) with strange for adults (invited)
Phase 2 - phase separation, when a child is left alone with a stranger
Phase 3 - the reunion when the mother returns to the room
Surprisingly, the children differently behave during the experiment significantly differed in their behavior during the 3 phases. On the basis of such criteria as features of the emotional and business relationship with close adults (a toy, makes a request asking for assistance), reaction to separation, the reaction to the reunion, features of cognitive activity of the child and the nature of the response to an unfamiliar adult, was identified 3 main types of attachment.
