The answer is True: Infants who display disorganized-disoriented attachment may show inconsistent or contradictory behaviors, such as moving toward their mother while looking away from her.

Explanation:

  • Disorganized-disoriented attachment is a type of attachment identified in the Strange Situation procedure developed by Mary Ainsworth. It is characterized by a lack of a coherent strategy for dealing with separation and reunion with the caregiver.
  • Infants with this attachment style often exhibit confused or contradictory behaviors. For example, they might approach the caregiver but avert their gaze, indicating a conflict between the desire for comfort and fear or anxiety.
  • This attachment style is often associated with caregivers who are frightening or frightened, leading to a lack of a clear attachment strategy in the infant.
