- - - - 50% of the Romanian orphans were retarded and underweight an initial assessment.
        
        Those adopted before 6 months showed normal levels of development, however those adopted after 6 months had difficulty forming attachments and showed indiscriminate friendliness (accepting anyone as their caregiver).
        
        The worst problems were experienced by those adopted after the age of 2.
      - Evaluation:
        
        Strength: Morison and Elwood found similar results with a group of Romanian orphans adopted by Canadian parents, suggesting Rutter's results are reliable
        
        Evaluation:
        
        Weakness: longitudinal studies take a long time to carry out
        
        Strength: However, it means the results have high validity as it was carried out over a long period of time
        
        Evaluation:
        
        Strength: This study has real-world applications as it has shown the importance of early adoption.
        
        Singer et al - most babies are adopted within the first week of birth and research shows adopted mothers and babies are just as securely attached as biological mothers and babies
- - - - Evaluation: Monotropic theory
        
        Lorenz's research supports Bowlby's theory as he found innate pre-programming provides an evolutionary advantage, as by staying close to PCG newborns are safer form danger
        
        However, Rutter's research contradicts Bowlby's as he found that infants display a range of attachment behaviours towards attachment figures other than the mother, and there is not particular attachment used specifically towards the mother

        Caregivers feed their infants approx. 2,000 times in their first year so it is highly plausible for an association to be formed between the caregiver & the removal of hunger
