Link between caregiving and attachment
After the baby is born, the development of a secure attachment depends on the caregiving the baby receives. Babies need close contact with their parents (or other primary caregivers). A study conducted in Israel demonstrates this clearly. In that country, some families live in kibbutzim, or communal villages, and their children spend the day together in a group care center. In some of these kibbutzim, infants also stay in the center at night; in other kibbutzim, they spend the night with their families. Avi Sagi-Schwartz and his colleagues studied the effects of these different arrangements on the children's attachment relationships (Sagi et al., 1994). Infants who spent the night at home with their families were more likely to develop secure attachments than infants who stayed in the center (60 percent vs. 26 percent). Presumably, this was because their parents had more opportunities for close interactions with them; the researchers had equated the two groups for other factors, including early life events, the quality of mother-infant play, and the quality of the care centers.
