The Effects of Day Care on Attachment and Exploratory Behavior in a Strange Situation

Roopnarine, Jaipaul L.; Lamb, Michael E.

Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, 24, 2, 85-95, Apr 78

A group of 3-year-old children were observed in a Strange Situation immediately prior to admission to day care and again three months later. Their behavior was compared with that of a control group, matched in all respects except for the fact that their parents had no plans to enroll them in day care. (SB)
