| Strange Situation: The Strange Situation is a controlled observational procedure in developmental psychology designed to assess the attachment patterns between infants and their caregivers. Developed by Mary Ainsworth, it involves a series of separations and reunions, observing the child's behavior in the presence of a stranger. The procedure helps identify different attachment styles, such as secure or insecure attachments.
