The effects of day care
on social development
- Effects on attachment
- Negative
- Belsky and Rovine
(1988)
- Found support for Bowlby’s theory of
permanent harm. If the child is in day
care for more than four months in their
first year they are significantly more
likely to develop insecure attachments.

- Sroufe (1990)
- Suggested
therefore that
children should not
be placed in
daycare until at least
the age of one.

- Belsky and Rovine
(1988)
- Positive
- Clarke-Stewart et al
(1994)
- In a study of 500
children found that
children receiving up to 30
hours a week of day care
were no more distressed
than other children who
had attended much lower
intensity day care when
separated from parents in
the strange situation.

- Roggman et al
(1994)
- Compared
infants who had
attended day care
in the first year
with those who
had remained at
home and found
no difference in
attachment with
mothers.

- These studies
suggest that
day care has
no ill effects
on attachment
or social
development.
- Clarke-Stewart et al
(1994)
- Negative
- Effects on peer relations
- Positive
- Shea (1981)
- Videotaped children in a day nursery
and compared the behaviours of those
attending for different lengths of time
- He found that children who attended more
regularly were more active, more sociable
in that they went looking for people to talk
to, and made more contact with others.

- Clarke-Stewart et al
(1994)
- Found that increased time in day
care seemed to speed up social
development, so children who had
experienced more day care learned
their social skills at an earlier age

- Shea (1981)
- Negative
- There is no direct evidence
suggesting that day care
harms peer relations
- Sroufe et al (2005)
- In their Minnesota longitudinal study did find
support for Bowlby’s continuity hypothesis.
This would suggest that children forming secure
attachments with parents were more likely to
form close relations with others later in life

- Positive
- Effects on aggression
- More
Agressive
- Vandell and Corasaniti
(1990)
- Found that eight year olds who had
spent their early years in day care
were rated as more ‘non-compliant’ by
both their teachers and their parents

- Haskins
(1985)
- Found that children kept in
larger groups were more
likely to be aggressive

- Belsky
(1999)
- A number of studies have tended to
support this finding that long periods
of day care in the first five years can
lead to raised levels of aggressive
behaviour in later childhood

- Vandell and Corasaniti
(1990)
- Less
Agressive
- Borge et al (2004)
- Questionnaire study of
over 3000 Canadian
children comparing day
care children with children
reared at home.
- Children kept at
home appeared
to be more
aggressive

- Borge et al (2004)
- More
Agressive
- Comparing studies and drawing conclusions (AO2)
- Age of commencing daycare
and time spent in daycare also
vary between studies with some
looking at children who started in
their first year and are spending
40 hours a week in daycare
whilst others start later and
spend perhaps only a couple of
days a week away from parents.
- The personality
(temperament) of
the child is hardly
ever mentioned in
the studies but is
clearly going to
affect how the
child reacts to
separation.
- Family
backgrounds
for those
attending and
not attending
daycare are
likely to be
very different.
