The researcher would hope that the same results, if replicated would be attained. Canada is an altogether different culture. Perhaps home-care would have more focus and the results would sway in favour of that direction.
I think that the culture in Canada is similar to that of Sweden, in terms of common family values, religion and government;Brandit however, it is possible that the small differences could produce different results. In general, I would expect any western, Democratic society to yield similar findings.
In Canada, daycare is an out of the pocket expense and is not provided to all individuals within society. It is difficult to interupt if the results found in Sweden would generalized to Canada. Dealing with different cultures can yield different results. Although, those children who interact with peers on a daily basis, must be able to increase cognitive, verbal, and math skills, just because individuals are interacting on a daily basis, and these skills require such interaction.
There are a few important differences between Canada and Sweden. One very important one is that Sweden has public child-care facilities, making out of home care mor accessable to families in Sweden. As well, Sweden gives their working mothers more time off work with pay than Canada does thereby increasing the opportunity the mother has to bond with her child before she goes back to work. Overall I don't think the differences would be great.
I think that this study would show slightly different results if done in Canada. The laws governing our daycares are probably different than those in Sweden, which may affect the quality and type of care given in the various types of daycare.
There is no guarantee that the results would be the same if the study was replicated in Canada. Sweden is an extremely Socialist country, the daycares there would be operating under high expectations. The daycares in Canada may not be as good. I would expect the daycares in Sweden would produce better results than others in the world.
I think that there are a couple of differences between Sweden and Canada that would affect the results of the study if replicated here. Both the access to public health care facilities and giving mothers abundant time off of work(as mentioned by Keri) would affect the results. I don't think the results would differ dramatically though.
No,I do not think Canada would have similar results because our daycare system is not near the quality or quantity of Sweden's.Sweden's social programs are much more advanced then Canada's because Sweden's government puts alot more funding into developing and maintaining their programs then Canada's.Iwould have to say that Canada's results would be somewhere inbetween Sweden's and the United States.
