#team avoidant attachment

Ainsworth determine three main attachment patterns which are secure (type B), insecure avoidant (type A) and insecure ambivalent/resistant (type C). She also concluded that these attachment patterns were one of the reasons of early interactions with the mother. The fourth attachment style was later identified by Main, & Solomon (1990) known as disorganized.

          Secure attachment patterns, usually gets the high possibility of good response of the children’s growth and development in which possess a representational model of attachment figures such as being responsive and helpful. The children under secure attachment hold the perspective of being confident that the attachment will provide to meet their needs. They also use the attachment as a safe base when they start to explore the environment and use the attachment figure in times of conflict. The caregiver of secure attachment is very sensitive when responding to the needs and gives full attention to the signals given. Securely attached children mostly developed positive connection.

          When insecure avoidant represent to a child, it most likely they experience disorient to their attachment figure while exploring the surroundings. They develop a very independent personality both physically and emotionally. They do not seek or connect to their attachment figure when they experience distressed unlike to secure attachment they are mostly want to contact or use attachment figure in times of distress. When the secure attachment experience a caregiver who is sensitive, the insecure is opposite, they more likely have the insensitive and rejecting their needs.

          The third attachment patterns was an insecure ambivalent (also called insecure resistant). The children develop an ambivalent behavioural style in which they are most likely inhibited different moods or having mixed feelings. When troubled they are difficult to alleviate and are not comforted by interaction with the attachment figure. This behaviour comes about from a conflicting level of reaction to their needs from the primary caregiver.  

          Among the attachment patterns, insecure avoidant is match to my attachment style because when I was young I experienced insensitive caregiver in which reject my needs due to that I develop a personality of being independent and I don’t usually connect or use any attachment figure when I face any distress or conflict. We experience insecure attachment type when extreme negative life events occurred in our life. I experience this kind of attachment type it’s because I encountered/experienced of having a broken family and because of that my parents are losing their attention with me. They also stopped playing with me with my favorite toys when my younger half sister was born. It seems that they don’t care about me anymore because they’re now busy with their new family. The possible effect of these circumstances sometimes it develops anxiety that affects our interaction with other people.
