Procedures
-Followed 65 children who were put into institutions when they were less that 4 months old. (there was a policy against any caregivers forming attachments with the children - meaning they'd experienced privation)
-By the aged of 4 years, 24 had been adopted, 15 had returned to their natural homes, and the rest remained in the institution.
-Assessment at age 8 and 16 involved interviewing the children (+ their parents, teachers and peers) who were adopted and those who'd returned to their natural homes.
-Data was collected from a group of 'normal' peers.
