RUTTER
  1. PROCEDURE
    1. Studied 100 Romanian orphans, and they were assessed at ages 4, 6 and 11.
      1. Compared to a control group: UK born children who were adopted before the age of 4 months.
        1. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with the child and parent. Also observation to see if the child makes any inapropriate physical contact with adults.
          1. IV= age at adoption (<6 months, 6-24 months, 2-4 years) DV= Inhibited/disinhibited attachment
    2. FINIDINGS
      1. Romanian orphans adopted by British families before 6 months showed 'normal' emotional development.
        1. However many of the orphans adopted after the age of 6 months showed problems with peers and disinhibited attachment.
          1. DISINHIBITED ATTACHMENT= a behavioural pattern sown by children brought up in institutions: Lack of fear of strangers, lack of looking back to parent in times of stress, attention seeking from ALL adults, inapropriate physical contact to adults
      2. EVALUATION
        1. Research is made rich and detailed as there was a range of methods used to assess the childrens behaviour. E.g. semi-structured interviews and obervation to see if child makes inapropriate physical contact
          1. Longitudinal study therefore it suffers attrition making the study unrepresentative and the end sample will be bias.
