Hodges and Tizard - Privation
- Studied 45 British children
- Placed in institutions when less than 4 months old
- Strict policy in institutions that caregiver can't form attachments with children
- Early study found that 70% were described as not able to care about anyone
- Can conclude from this that most, if not all, experienced early emotional privation
- Observed until the age of 16
- Many left the institutions (ex-institutional)
- Some were adopted
- Attachment to parents was the same as the control group
- Some were restored to their parents
- Less likely to form attachments with mother
- Both adopted and restored children had problems with their peers and showed signs of disinhibited attachment
- Supports Bowlby's theory - Sensitive period
