Give one study into this ?

Another study supporting this:
Shae (1981). Finding: Children become more socailable the longer they went to nursery, gression decreased and the affects were more noticable on children who went for 5 day instead of 2
6 of 9
What was the conclusion and evaluation:
Conclusion: day care decreases aggression and increases socailbilty/ evaluation: agression decreased if the child went for 5 days instead of 2 which shows that the nursery was affecting them rather than them maturing
