Attachment in a Multiple-Caregiver and Multiple-Infant Environment: The Case of the Israeli Kibbutzim, Sagi et al.(1985)

Scientific Paper

Most infants are raised in an environment that contains more than one caregiver and more than one child, interacting on a regular basis with their mothers, fathers, grandparents, and siblings as well as with baby-sitters or professional caregivers. Similarly, both parents and nonparental caregivers very often establish attachments with more than one child. Nevertheless, until relatively recently, attachment research has focused mainly on the attachment relationship of only the mother and with only one of her children. This case study explores the unique situation of a multiple-caregiver, multiple-infant environment on attachment.
