1.1.1 NICHD : Mothers of children who had
more than 30 hours of day care a week
showed increased levels of aggression
1.2.1 Doherty : Children who attend regular day are
less aggressive. This relies on the day care
being high quality and stimulating.
2 Peer relations
2.1.1 Rubenstien and Howes : Day care encourages
peer interaction, this makes peers less nervous
when meeting new peers in the future.
2.2.1 Vandell and Corasaniti : used observations from teachers
and parents to find that children who spent large amounts
of time in day care developed poor peer relationships. The
quality of day care these children had was poor and the
reaserch suggests that this is an important factor.
