In the area of topology, Lebesgue is known for his covering theorem which is used for finding the dimensions of a set. He is also credited for his work on the Fourier series. He was able to demonstrate that using term by term integration of a series that were Lebesgue integrable functions was always valid and therefore, gave validation to Fourier’s proof of his series. What is now considered to be one of Lebesgue’s greatest contribution was his work with the Riemann integral. Before his work,…

Psychologist Mary Ainworth developed a theory on the importance of the varying types of attachment between caregiver and child through experimental research in 1969. Ainworth created an assessment technique known as the Strange Situation Classification or SSC. The Strange Situation Classification was tested on infants, (mostly one to two year olds) and it demonstrated the responses of infants when separated from their mothers.

Many doleful comments followed, but Elise couldn’t bear it anymore. Shoving her way to the spot closest to the splintering plank of wood, Elise took a shaky breath. Normally she was a very rational person, but as they say: desperate times call for…

serving as an attachment figure. Moreover, they worry that others may not be there emotionally when they are most needed ("Your Personality," n.d.). Overall Score and the Corresponding Attachment Category As a result of overall scores in attachment patterns they are categorized into two sections. The traditional way is to conceptualize, these sections are viewed as traits and states. Traits are -relatively enduring ways of characterizing our relationships with important people in our lives.…
