compared to insecurely attached toddlers, those who are securely attached tend to have which of the following characteristics?
□ more positive interactions with peers
□ better emotional regulation
□ smaller vocabularies
□ less distress and fear

Explanation:

Secure attachment in toddlers is associated with positive social - emotional development. They tend to interact more positively with peers as they feel more confident. They also have better emotional regulation skills due to the security they feel from their attachment figures. Additionally, they experience less distress and fear as they have a secure base to return to. There is no evidence that securely attached toddlers have smaller vocabularies; in fact, the positive environment associated with secure attachment may support language development.

Answer:

• More positive interactions with peers
• Better emotional regulation
• Less distress and fear
