Abstract

A group of home-reared children and a group of children who had been enrolled in an infant day care center were examined at 30 months of age for differences in child-mother and mother-child attachment patterns. Essentially, no differences between the groups could be detected. However, an association was found between strength of attachment and developmental level of the child and between strength of attachment and amount of stimulation and support for development available in the home.
