Day care may affect infants in first year study says
STATE COLLEGE PA AP Babies who spend twenty hours or more weekly in care away from parents during their first year show a higher risk of insecure attachment. Research by Jay Belsky of Penn State links insecure infants to later behavioral issues, though colleagues question the strength of the data. The study followed 149 infants starting in 1982 using videotaped episodes to gauge attachment to parents.
