Harry Harlow studied this phenomenon in rhesus macaques (-5[1])by constructing cloth-and-wire “surrogates,” (-5[1])which inspired John Bowlby’s theory of this phenomenon. In an experiment studying this phenomenon, a stranger talked to a parent before the parent (10[1])left the stranger with their child. Mary Ainsworth’s “strange situation” (-5[1])experiment studied this phenomenon, whose three “styles” are “secure,” (-5[1])“anxious-ambivalent,” and “anxious-avoidant.” (10[1])For 10 points, name this feeling (10[1])that an infant feels toward a caregiver. ■END■ (10[2])
