Infant Day-Care, Attachment, and the "File Drawer Problem."

Roggman, Lori A.; And Others

Child Development, v65 n5 p1429-43 Oct 1994

This study of 105 12-month olds replicated 4 similar studies that showed that infants in day care are at risk for insecure attachment. Failure to reproduce significant results suggests that the research literature on infant day care and attachment may be biased by the unavailability of "file drawer" studies--unpublished data showing no statistically significant effects.
