 What are peer relations? | "pro-social behaviour"; co-operating with others, sharing, making friends etc. |
| Campbell et al (2000) Method | - Swedish study - compared nursery/childminder kids to kids who couldn't get a place at day care. Therefore two groups have similar circumstances. - observed playing at home and at nursery, assessed care at home and at nursery, followed them up to fifteen (changing methods to be age appropriate) |
| Campbell et al (2000) Results | - if they had really long days at daycare when they were less than 3 and a half, they were more likely to have social problems. - high quality daycare before 3 and a half led to better social skills. - social skills at 3 and a half are set for how they'll be until about fifteen! |
| Campbell et al (2000) Evaluation | + lots of observation, questionnaires etc - all sorts of different measures - made for well rounded findings and more valid conclusions + longitudinal study - over a really long period of time; followed them up to see long term effects. - Not generalisable, small sample size (48 kids) and all Swedish. |
| EPPE Project (1991) Results | - daycare was positive for social skills. Kids who went there got on with others more. - this was a stronger effect if they'd started day care early |
