Ainsworth et al. (1978) defined four attachment styles with the following prevalence: Secure learners (60-70%) explore freely and seek comfort; Anxious-avoidant learners (15-20%) appear unfazed by separation and avoid caregivers upon return; Anxious-ambivalent learners (10-15%) show distress and struggle to calm down; Disorganised learners (5-10%) respond inconsistently to separation and reunion.
