Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 54-6 (June 2013) . - p.653-660 Titre : Children born through reproductive donation: a longitudinal study of psychological adjustment Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Susan GOLOMBOK, Auteur ; Lucy BLAKE, Auteur ; Polly CASEY, Auteur ; Gabriela ROMAN, Auteur ; Vasanti JADVA, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.653-660 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Surrogacy  egg donation  psychological adjustment  parenting Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background: Parenting and children’s adjustment were examined in 30 surrogacy families, 31 egg donation families, 35 donor insemination families, and 53 natural conception families. Methods: Parenting was assessed at age 3 by a standardized interview designed to assess quality of parenting and by questionnaire measures of anxiety, depression, and marital quality. Children’s adjustment was assessed at ages 3, 7, and 10 using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). Results: Although children born through reproductive donation obtained SDQ scores within the normal range, surrogacy children showed higher levels of adjustment difficulties at age 7 than children conceived by gamete donation. Mothers who had kept their child’s origins secret showed elevated levels of distress. However, maternal distress had a more negative impact on children who were aware of their origins. Conclusions: The absence of a gestational connection to the mother may be more problematic for children than the absence of a genetic link.

Does maternal depression predict young children's executive function? – a 4-year longitudinal study / Claire HUGHES in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 54-2 (February 2013)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 54-2 (February 2013) . - p.169-177 Titre : Does maternal depression predict young children's executive function? – a 4-year longitudinal study Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Claire HUGHES, Auteur ; Gabriela ROMAN, Auteur ; Martha J. HART, Auteur ; Rosie ENSOR, Auteur Année de publication : 2013 Article en page(s) : p.169-177 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Executive function  longitudinal  individual differences  maternal depression  child development. Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background: Building on reports that parental maltreatment and neglect adversely affect young children's executive function (EF), this longitudinal study examined whether exposure to a more common risk factor, mothers' depressive symptoms, predicted individual differences in EF at school-age. Methods: We followed up at age 6 a socially diverse sample of 126 children (78 boys, 48 girls) for whom direct observations of mother–child interactions have been shown to predict gains in EF between the ages of 2 and 4. We used an EF latent factor based on scores from three tasks (Beads, Day/Night, Tower of London) that tapped working memory, inhibitory control and planning, as well as a latent growth model of mothers' Beck Depression Inventory factor scores at four time-points, and included age 6 verbal ability as a covariate in all analyses. Results: The intercept and slope for mothers' depressive symptoms each predicted unique variance in EF at age 6; these predictive effects remained significant when we also included: (a) age 2 working memory, (b) maternal education and (c) direct observations of maternal positive control at ages 2 and 6. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that early exposure to mothers' depressive symptoms adversely affects children's developing EF, and that the chronicity of this exposure may matter.

The role of age of disclosure of biological origins in the psychological wellbeing of adolescents conceived by reproductive donation: a longitudinal study from age 1 to age 14 / Elena ILIOI in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 58-3 (March 2017)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 58-3 (March 2017) . - p.315-324 Titre : The role of age of disclosure of biological origins in the psychological wellbeing of adolescents conceived by reproductive donation: a longitudinal study from age 1 to age 14 Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Elena ILIOI, Auteur ; Lucy BLAKE, Auteur ; Vasanti JADVA, Auteur ; Gabriela ROMAN, Auteur ; Susan GOLOMBOK, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.315-324 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Egg donation  donor insemination  surrogacy  disclosure  adolescence Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background The question of whether children should be told of their biological origins is one of the most controversial issues regarding the birth of children through donated eggs, sperm, embryos or surrogacy. Methods In the sixth phase of this longitudinal study when the children were aged 14 years, family relationships and adolescent adjustment were examined in 87 families created through reproductive donation and 54 natural conception families. The quality of family relationships was assessed by standardised interview with mothers and by standardised questionnaires and an observational measure with mothers and adolescents. Adolescent adjustment was assessed using standardised questionnaires. Systematic information on whether and when parents had told children about their biological origins was obtained at earlier phases of the study. Results There were no overall differences between disclosing families and either nondisclosing or natural conception families. However, within the disclosing families, more positive family relationships and higher levels of adolescent wellbeing were found for adolescents who had been told about their biological origins before age 7. Conclusions The earlier children born through reproductive donation are told about their biological origins, the more positive are the outcomes in terms of the quality of family relationships and psychological wellbeing at adolescence.
