This study aimed at investigating the concordance of psychological adjustment and ERs in 46 adopted adolescents (aged 11-17, M=13.50, SD= 1.59; 50% males) and their adoptive mothers (aged 44-59, M = 50.9, SD = 4.05). Participants were recruited for a larger adoption longitudinal study through Agencies for International Adoption and Social Services. Psychological adjustment was assessed in adolescents by Child Behaviour Checklist 6/18 (CBCL 6/18) and in mothers by Symptoms Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R). ER strategies were assessed by Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, for adolescents (ERQ-CA) and mothers (ERQ). Results showed significant mother-adolescents associations concerning psychological adjustment (r=.45, p=.004) but not ERs.

Abstract

This study aimed at investigating the concordance of psychological adjustment and ERs in 46 adopted adolescents (aged 11-17, M=13.50, SD= 1.59; 50% males) and their adoptive mothers (aged 44-59, M = 50.9, SD = 4.05). Participants were recruited for a larger adoption longitudinal study through Agencies for International Adoption and Social Services. Psychological adjustment was assessed in adolescents by Child Behaviour Checklist 6/18 (CBCL 6/18) and in mothers by Symptoms Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R). ER strategies were assessed by Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, for adolescents (ERQ-CA) and mothers (ERQ). Results showed significant mother-adolescents associations concerning psychological adjustment (r=.45, p=.004) but not ERs.
