In the article, we present research to explain how we use text mining in our field of study. The research, given as an example, was conducted with a group of adoptive mothers (37) interviewed on "the search for biological origins by their adoptive children". We carried out a cluster analysis and a subsequent correspondence analysis: 7 clusters and 6 factors emerged. Here we will consider only the top three factors, which represent more than 59% of the variance. Overall, the research shows the difficulty encountered by adoptive mothers in accompanying their children towards the rediscovery of biological origins. A subsequent regression model showed an associative link between the time elapsed since the adopted child's arrival in the family and the radicalism/reticence to change about the ways in which the issue is addressed, calculated in terms of the Euclidean distance of the subjects on the multifactorial space.

Abstract
In the article, we present research to explain how we use text mining in our field of study. The research, given as an example, was conducted with a group of adoptive mothers (37) interviewed on "the search for biological origins by their adoptive children". We carried out a cluster analysis and a subsequent correspondence analysis: 7 clusters and 6 factors emerged. Here we will consider only the top three factors, which represent more than 59% of the variance. Overall, the research shows the difficulty encountered by adoptive mothers in accompanying their children towards the rediscovery of biological origins. A subsequent regression model showed an associative link between the time elapsed since the adopted child's arrival in the family and the radicalism/reticence to change about the ways in which the issue is addressed, calculated in terms of the Euclidean distance of the subjects on the multifactorial space.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
