Evidence that argues against Ainsowrth caregiver sensitvity hypothesis - attachment type formed by baby may reflect their own basic temperament - easy babies = secure attachment - slow/warm babies = avoidant - difficult babies = ambivilant
Type D attachment was added - Type D = disorganised attachment, baby responds in different way in repeated episodes at different time
Only measures attachment to mother / doesn't consider temperant of child / demand charcteristics
easy to replicate / other studies found similar results
situation similar to what children may experience in real life
unfamiliar enviroment / departure of mother in strange place and interaction with stranger likely to cause stress - experiment would stop if baby to distressed
