How do researchers assess whether young people expect support to be available?
The study links caregiving histories to adolescents' knowledge of secure-base relationships in a specific care setting.
Who was studied?
Adolescents with histories of institutional care and records of caregiving over development
Age / stage: Childhood through adolescence
Read with three questions
- How do researchers assess whether young people expect support to be available?
- What was measured at each observation, and what other influences might account for the link?
- Which features of the study population (adolescents with histories of institutional care and records of caregiving over development) would matter when applying the findings in another setting?
Keep the limits in view
The institutional-care history and subsequent caregiving settings are central to the sample. Secure-base knowledge assessed in adolescence is not a direct observation of trust in an ordinary family setting.
