A team led by Michael Rutter found that disorders of this phenomenon were rare in Romanian-English orphans born during the Ceauşescu (“cho-SHESS-koo”) regime. Harry Harlow studied this phenomenon in rhesus macaques by constructing (-5[1])cloth-and-wire “surrogates,” (-5[1])which inspired John Bowlby’s theory of this phenomenon. (10[1])In an experiment studying (10[1])this phenomenon, a stranger (-5[1])talked to a parent before the parent left the stranger with (10[1])their child. (10[3])Mary Ainsworth’s “strange situation” experiment studied this phenomenon, whose three “styles” are “secure,” (10[1])“anxious-ambivalent,” and “anxious-avoidant.” For 10 points, name this feeling that an infant feels toward a caregiver. ■END■ (10[2])
