Q

What did Tizard find about privation?

A

He looked at institutionalised children who were either adopted or restored. At 16 the majority of the adoptive mothers felt that their child was deeply attached to them vs only a half of the restored children. However, ex-institutional children had poorer relationships with peers than a comparison group

Q

Other than generalisability what is an issue with all these case studies?

A

They have control issues with extraneous variables making them less valid i.e. age, learning disabilities etc

Q

What criticism could be levelled at the studies about Czech twins & Bulldogbanks

A

They might be deprivation rather than privation as they had a chance to form bonds with each other

18
Q

What additional issue did Genie have that the other individuals didn’t which makes it difficult to figure out if privation can be overcome?

A

Learning difficulties

19
Q

Which of the studies has issues with Temporal validity because the situation it was studying would be unlikely to occur nowadays due to changes in ‘institutional’ care i.e. encouraging staff not to bond with children?

The likes of Rutter and Tizard because they look at institutions which are very different now than what they were at the time
