With age the frequency and the depth with which such behaviour is exhibited decrease progressively. however, these types of types of behaviour persist as a massive a part of man’s behavioural apparatus.

As a manner of conceptualizing proximity preserving, attachment conception, unlike dependency conception, emphasizes the subsequent features:* (a) Specificity Attachment behaviour is directed in the direction of one or a number of particular members, frequently in transparent order of choice.
