Evidence concerning the effects of infant day care on attachment and later social behavior is reviewed. Although methodological problems, common to research with infants, undermine the findings of many studies, family situations and children's individual traits are identified as influencing their response to early group care, particularly for boys. Overall results suggest that, as a matter of sound public policy, alternatives to day care be made available to families with infants.
本文综述了有关婴儿日托对依恋及后期社会行为影响的证据。尽管婴儿研究中常见的方法学问题削弱了许多研究的结果，但家庭状况和儿童个体特征被认为会影响他们对早期集体照料的反应，尤其是对男孩而言。总体结果表明，作为一项合理的公共政策，应为有婴儿的家庭提供日托之外的其他选择。
