What Are The Four Attachment Styles And Outcomes For Being Securely Attached?

-Authoritarian - A restrictive pattern of parenting in which adults set many rules for their children, expect strict obedience, and rely on power rather than reason to elicit compliance
-Authoritative - flexible, democratic style of parenting in which warm, accepting parent s provide guidance and control while allowing the child some say in deciding how best to meet challenges and obligations
-Permissive - A pattern of parenting in which otherwise accepting adults make few demands of their children and rely attempt to control their behavior
-Uninvolved - a pattern of parenting that is both aloof and overly permissive, almost as if parents neither cared about their children not about what they may become

Attachment/Intimate Relationships:
Secure Attachment - an infant/ caregiver bond in which the child welcomes contact with close companion and uses this person as a secure base from which to explore the environment
Resistant Attachment - An insecure infant/ caregiver bond characterized by strong separation protest and a tendency of the child to remain near but resist contact initiated by the caregiver, particularly after a separation
Avoidant Attachment - An insecure infant/ caregiver bond characterized by little separation protest and a tendency of the child to avoid or ignore the caregiver
Disorganized / disoriented attachment - An insecure infant/ caregiver bond characterized by the infant’s dazed appearance on reunion or a tendency to first seek and then abruptly avoid the caregiver
Outcome of being securely attached is, it actively explores and child may be outgoing with strangers while mother is present
Outcome of not securely attached is infant lacks trust from caregiver or strangers.
