Attachment_And_Romanian_Orphanages

Attachment And Romanian Orphanages In another study researchers examined attachment security and indiscriminately friendly behavior in children adopted from Romanian Orphanages. This study had two goals, the first was to assess differences in attachment security between children adopted to Canada after at least 8 months in Romanian orphanages and two comparison groups of children. The second goal was to assess the presence of indiscriminately friendly behavior in children adopted from Romanian orphanages, and to evaluate whether their behavior was present to a greater extent than the comparison group. Indiscriminately friendly behavior was characterized as behavior that is affectionate and friendly toward all adults (including strangers) without the fear or caution characteristic of normal children. The subjects in this study were broken down into three groups, an experimental group and two comparison groups. SUBJECTS: The Experimental Group referred to as RO consisted of 46 children, (20 boys and 26 girls) who had spent at least 8 months in a Romanian orphanage prior to their adoption to Canada.
