Evaluation on the Romanian orphan studies

+:

P - application to real-life

Ev - this can help improve conditions for children growing up outside their family home. Care homes now avoid having large numbers of caregivers for each child

Ex - therefore, institutional care have a chance to develop normal attachments and disinhibited attachment is avoided

P - there are fewer confounding variables

Ev - the second world war orphans differ from the Romanian orphans because the second world war orphans experienced varying degrees of trauma, neglect and physical abuse

Ex - therefore the results were much less likely to be confounded by other negative early experiences

-:

P - this was not a typical orphanage

Ev - these orphanages is different as women were forced to have children but could not afford them

Ex - therefore, this study and its findings are incomplete because this study does not apply to all orphanages
