Answer:
Secure attachment in an infant implies that the infant trusts her mother or caregiver is truly attached to them. A good example was shown through " The Strange Situation" theory. In this study they tested that a baby will show signs of distress if separated from their primary care giver (usually the mother) and will show signs of joy and seek comfort in the cargiver when they are reunited. This shows that they are attached securely and the baby uses the caregiver as a safe base. Approximately 60-65% of American babies has been shown to have secure attachemnt relationships.
