- The effects of privation
- Hodges and Tizard
- Longitudinal Study
- 65 children were placed in an institution when they were less than 4 months old
- Doesn't support Bowlby's Maternal Deprivation Hypothesis as the study showed that effective attachments happen at the age of 4, after privation for 4 years.
- Rutter et al Romanian Orphans
- Rutter studied 111 Romanian orphans adopted in the UK by the age of 2.
- By the age of 4 the children have caught up with their age-related milestones such as size.
- The longer they spent in the care the slower the progress of development once adopted.
- Recovery is possible.
- Rutter studied 111 Romanian orphans adopted in the UK by the age of 2.
- Quinton et al
- Found that ex-institutional women were poor mothers and were less sensitive with their children.
- Genie
- Genie never experienced attachment, due to long time of privation - 13 years. Never achieved a good social adjustment, could barely walk.
- Czech twins
- The children spent 11 months at a children's home and then with a cruel step-mom and not caring father. They were kept in a cellar and found at the age of 7. The twins after being with a foster family were soon found to be completely normal.
- Hodges and Tizard
