Produktbeschreibung
Adopted and Nonadopted children were compared on
measures of self-appraisal and behavioral
adaptation. This study provides evidence of an
elevated risk of behavior problems and negative self-
appraisal for adopted children 6-13 years of age.
This negative self-appraisal appears to be linked to
behavioral adjustment, supporting past research that
indicates a relationship between beliefs and
behavior. It may be that problems adjusting to
one''s adoptive status, particularly during childhood
and adolescence, is closely tied to a less positive
view of self. The adoption beliefs of others,
especially peers and significant adults, may be
important in the adopted child''s adjustment, thereby
indicating a clear need for adoptive families and
practitioners to educate society regarding adoption
so as to lessen the stigma attached to this unique
family situation.
