Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

What is attachment?

  1. A strong emotional bond between an infant and a caregiver
  2. Changing behaviour to fit in with a group
  3. Following orders from a person in authority
  4. Understanding that quantity stays the same
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: A — A strong emotional bond between an infant and a caregiver
Award 1 mark. Attachment is a lasting, two-way emotional tie that makes a baby seek closeness to a caregiver, especially when distressed. Fitting in is conformity, following orders is obedience, and conservation is a Piagetian concept.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

Which attachment type shows little distress at separation and avoids the caregiver on return?

  1. Secure
  2. Insecure-resistant
  3. Insecure-avoidant
  4. Disorganised
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: C — Insecure-avoidant
Award 1 mark. Avoidant infants seem indifferent to the carer leaving and returning, possibly because carers have been unresponsive. Secure infants are comforted on return, resistant infants are very distressed, and disorganised infants behave inconsistently.

Edexcel GCSE Psychology: Development: Attachment Theory FAQ

Is Kramizo free for Edexcel GCSE students preparing for Psychology?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Development: Attachment Theory practice with other Psychology topics or even switch to a totally different Edexcel subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Development: Attachment Theory questions aligned to the official Edexcel GCSE Psychology syllabus?
Every question is written against the published Edexcel GCSE Psychology specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real Edexcel paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from Edexcel.
How is Development: Attachment Theory typically tested on Edexcel GCSE Psychology papers?
Development: Attachment Theory appears across multiple question types on real Edexcel GCSE Psychology papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
