The Effects of Out-of-Home Care on the Development of Social Competence in Sweden: A Longitudinal Study.

Lamb, Michael E.; And Others

Early Childhood Research Quarterly, v3 n4 p379-402 Dec 1988

Concluded that type of child care given 140 preschoolers (center-based, family day care, or in child's own home) had no apparent impact on children's sociability or personality maturity, as measured 24 months after the study began. However, the quality of care, family social support, and child gender helped predict personality maturity and social skills. (NH)
