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.
