  1. Hodges and Tizard Emotional Privation - Institutionalisation LO: To understand the effects of institutionalisation on attachment, using Hodges and Tizard’s study

  2. Privation and Institutionalised Children: Key Words: Privation, Institutionalisation Key Study: Hodges and Tizard, 1989 HW: Explain how institutionalisation can affect the attachment of children (4 marks) Evaluate research into the effects of institutionalisation on children’s attachment (4 marks) DUE TOMORROW PERIOD 5

  3. Starter: Bowlbysuggested that being deprived of your main caregiver can have lasting effects on your relationships. What do you think would be the effects of having never formed a relationship with one primary caregiver? Would it matter if you had bonded with lots of different people?

  4. Hodges and Tizard (1989) Aim: To examine the effects of emotional privation on 65 children brought up in a care home until they were around 4 years old… TO TEST THE MATERNAL DEPRIVATION HYPOTHESIS! • Institutionalisation: behaviour shown by children who have been raised in places such as children’s homes or ophanages. They may have attachments to many different members of staff but not one person • Looking at emotional privation, not physical like the previous research Method: Longitudinal Natural Experiment. Series of case studies Also - interviews

  5. Procedure • The care home had a particular policy against caregivers forming attachments with the children – what would this imply??? • By the age of 4 years, 24 of the institutionalised children had been adopted, 15 restored to their original homes. The rest remained in the institution • Assessment of the IV included interviewing the children at ages 8 and 16. Their parents, teachers and peers were also interviewed. • Info was also gathered on a control group • See additional sheet for further information

  6. Findings

  7. Evaluation Evaluate Hodges and Tizard’s study under the following headings… • Were there any possible confounding variables? • Sample – some participants dropped out over the years. What effect would this have?

  8. SubjectAttrition -When participants drop out of a study • Lack of motivation • Concerns • In this study, maladjusted?

  9. Plenary • Use your handout to visually represent the findings of Hodges and Tizard • Make a conclusion from the findings, based on the MDH

  10. Check your understanding • Suggest two advantages of studying extreme cases of privation, such as the czech twins as a way of learning about the effects of privation • Suggest two weaknesses of studying extreme cases as a way of learning about the effects of privation • Suggest two ethical issues that might apply to such studies and suggest how the researcher might deal with each of these.
