Infants with insecure-avoidant attachment behaviors typically exhibit behaviors that are hypervigilant. They may block their own feelings of anxiety, fear, or need while learning to cope with rejection and punishment. They feel they must fend for themselves against any vulnerability. In doing this they tend to display rejecting behaviors towards their care givers and develop their own moral value system with the core belief system as preservation of self. For example, they may show mixed drives of approach and avoidance, with a burst of anger followed by a sudden frozen watchfulness.
