Long Term Effects Of Privation Flashcards
some studies suggest that children who experience privation go on to
have difficulties caring for their own children
Quinton et al date
1984
Quinton et al compared
50 women who had experienced institutionalised care as children to 50 women who hadn’t
they found that the women that had been in care were more likely to
have parenting difficulties later in life
this suggests that there is a
circle of privation
children who have experienced privation go on to become
less caring parents
their children become deprived of a strong
maternal attachment and may then be less caring to their children and so on

permanently damaged by early experiences such as privation of attachment
