• Strength of Romanian orphanage studies


  Improved conditions of orphanages e.g. now have 1/2 key workers assigned to each child.

  Try to find parents to adopt/foster kids instead
• Strength of Romanian orphanages studies

  Lack of confounding variables-higher internal validity
• Limitation of Romanian orphanages study

  Lack of adult data- dont have answers for longterm effects of institutionalised care
• Limitation of Romanian orphanages study

  Anyone who knew Romanian orphans would have lowered expectations of them due to findings and they might treat them differently
