Romanian orphan studies: Effects of institutionalisation
Key Terms

Institutionalisation- A term for the effects of living in an institutional setting. The
term refers to s place like a hospital or an orphanage where children live for long,
continuous periods of time. In such places, there is often very little emotional care
provided. In attachment research we are interested in the effect of institutional care
on children’s attachment and subsequent development.

Orphan studies- These concern children placed in care because their parents cannot
look after them. An orphan is a child whose parents have either died or have
abandoned them permanently.
