Table 3.

Parental responses on the Toy Questionnaire for each of the three toy types, to which children were attached (ns = 19 for Sleep, 6 for Animate, 6 for Inanimate) or unattached (ns = 17 for Sleep, 30 for Animate, 30 for Inanimate), as well as overall (n = 36); SDs in parentheses.

 • Overall 2.09 (2.58) 1.84 (2.26) 1.64 (2.46) n.s.
(Q3-8) Composite attachment score (1-10 scale)
 • Attached 6.54 (1.58) 7.25 (1.59) 6.06 (1.65) p < .001
 • Unattached 3.08 (1.11) 3.20 (1.35) 2.28 (0.93)
 • Overall 4.90 (2.22) 3.87 (2.06) 2.91 (1.77)

Effects of toy type were examined for the overall sample only; on the Composite attachment score, all three items differ significantly from each other, ps < .05.
