[Avoidant Attachment Personality] is a major type within adult attachment theory.
In the 1950s, British psychiatrist John Bowlby proposed the earliest [Attachment Theory] through studying mother-child relationships.
This theory posits: A special emotional bond exists between infants and their caregivers, this bond is instinctual and affects the interpersonal patterns of the infant throughout their life.
In the 1970s, American psychologist Mary Ainsworth further explored this emotional bond between infants and caregivers through the [Strange Situation Experiment].
The procedure of this experiment is not complicated: first placing the infant and mother in a strange environment, then letting a stranger enter, then having the mother leave, after a period of time allowing the mother to return.
