Associations between physical growth and general cognitive functioning in international adoptees from Eastern Europe at 30 months post-arrival / M. G. KROUPINA in Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders, 7-1 (December 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders > 7-1 (December 2015) . - p.36 Titre : Associations between physical growth and general cognitive functioning in international adoptees from Eastern Europe at 30 months post-arrival Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : M.

JOHNSON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.36 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Cognitive functioning  Early adversity  Growth hormone system  International adoption  Physical growth Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: Internationally adopted children have often experienced early adversity and growth suppression as a consequence of institutional care. Furthermore, these children are at risk for impaired cognitive development due to their early adverse experiences. This study examined the association between physical growth, the growth hormone (GH) system, and general cognitive functioning post-adoption. Based on previous research, we expected to find that a child's initial physical growth status and normalization of the growth hormone-insulin-like growth factor 1 (GH-IGF-1) axis would be positive predictors of general cognitive functioning. METHODS: Post-institutionalized children (n = 46) adopted from Eastern Europe were seen approximately 1 month after their arrival into the USA to determine baseline measurements. They were seen again 6 and 30 months later for two follow-up sessions. Measures included anthropometry, insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), IGF binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3), Mullen Scales of Early Learning, and Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales. Information about parental education was also collected. RESULTS: We found that a child's general cognitive functioning at 30 months post-adoption was predicted by their general developmental scores at 6 months post-adoption, their initial height status, and markers of the growth hormone system. Children with lower initial IGFBP-3 standard deviation (SD) scores had higher verbal IQ scores at 30 months. Furthermore, a child's initial height was found to be a significant positive predictor of non-verbal IQ. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest an association between a child's suppressed physical growth in response to early adversity and alterations in GH system functioning and subsequent recovery in cognitive functioning.

The British Chinese Adoption Study: orphanage care, adoption and mid-life outcomes / Alan RUSHTON in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 54-11 (November 2013)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 54-11 (November 2013) . - p.1215-1222 Titre : The British Chinese Adoption Study: orphanage care, adoption and mid-life outcomes Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Alan RUSHTON, Auteur ; Margaret GRANT, Auteur ; Julia FEAST, Auteur ; John SIMMONDS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1215-1222 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Orphanage care  international adoption  long-term follow-up  adult outcomes Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background While studies of ex-orphanage care show adverse effects on development, the longer-term impact on mid-life psychosocial functioning and physical health has not been established. Methods Orphanage records provided baseline data on a sample of 100 Hong Kong Chinese girls who were subsequently adopted into the UK. A mid-life follow-up using standardised questionnaires and face-to-face interviews assessed current circumstances, life satisfaction and mental and physical health outcomes. Comparisons were made with age-matched UK-born adopted and nonadopted women. Results Half the group spent between 1 and 2 years in orphanages, average age at adoptive placement was 23 months and 72% participated in the follow-up. Despite this poor early start, mid-life outcomes were commensurate with the comparison groups in terms of mental and physical health measures. Serious psychiatric and social difficulties were largely absent. Although the timing and extent of exposure to orphanage care did not influence outcome, participants' reports of poorer quality adoptive family experience and a negative view of their adoption were significantly associated with poorer mental health outcomes (difference in means = 0.76, 95% CI 1.33–0.19, p = .01; difference in means = 1.2, 95% CI 0.68–1.73, p = .01, respectively). Conclusions Moderately depriving orphanage care did not predict enduring adverse consequences in mid-life but subsequent poor adoption experience was associated with outcome.

Behavioral and emotional symptoms of post-institutionalized children in middle childhood / Kristen L. WIIK in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 52-1 (January 2011)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 52-1 (January 2011) . - p.56-63 Titre : Behavioral and emotional symptoms of post-institutionalized children in middle childhood Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Kristen L.

GUNNAR, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.56-63 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : International adoption  institutional care  mental health Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background:  Experience in institutional/orphanage care has been linked to increased mental health problems. Research suggests that children adopted from institutions experience specific difficulties related to inattention/overactivity. Evidence of internalizing and conduct problems relative to non-adopted peers has been found in early childhood and early adolescence, but problems may not differ from other adopted children. This study clarifies the understanding of behavioral and emotional symptoms of post-institutionalized (PI) children during middle childhood. Methods:  Eight- to eleven-year-old PI children (n = 68) and two comparison groups, children internationally adopted from foster care (n = 74) and non-adopted children (n = 76), and their parents completed the MacArthur Health and Behavior Questionnaire related to attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), externalizing, and internalizing symptoms. Group means for symptom level and number of children with symptoms above clinical cutoffs were compared. Results:  PI children displayed an increased level of ADHD symptoms per parent report. PI child and parent report indicated a higher number of PI children above clinical ADHD cutoff. Both groups of internationally adopted (IA) children had higher levels of externalizing symptoms relative to non-adopted children, with parent report indicating higher numbers of IA children above the externalizing clinical threshold. Informants differed in their report of internalizing symptoms. Parents indicated that both IA groups displayed increased internalizing symptom levels and greater numbers above clinical threshold; however, children reported this to be true only for the PI group. Conclusions:  PI children differ from non-adopted peers across symptom domains in middle childhood. Whether these concerns were more broadly associated with international adoption rather than institutional care depended on symptom domain and informant. An understanding of this variability may be beneficial for treatment and intervention.

Early adversity and children's regulatory deficits: Does postadoption parenting facilitate recovery in postinstitutionalized children? / Kalsea J. KOSS in Development and Psychopathology, 32-3 (August 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 32-3 (August 2020) . - p.879-896 Titre : Early adversity and children's regulatory deficits: Does postadoption parenting facilitate recovery in postinstitutionalized children?

GUNNAR, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.879-896 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : early adversity  executive function  international adoption  parenting  regulation Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Children reared in orphanages typically experience the lack of stable, reliable caregivers and are at increased risk for deficits in regulatory abilities including difficulties in inhibitory control, attention, and emotion regulation. Although adoption results in a radical shift in caregiving quality, there remains variation in postadoption parenting, yet little research has examined postadoption parenting that may promote recovery in children experiencing early life adversity in the form of institutional care. Participants included 93 postinstitutionalized children adopted between 15 and 36 months of age and 52 nonadopted same-aged peers. Parenting was assessed four times during the first 2 years postadoption (at 2, 8, 16, and 24 months postadoption) and children's regulation was assessed at age 5 (M age = 61.68 months) and during kindergarten (M age = 71.55 months). Multiple parenting dimensions including sensitivity/responsiveness, structure/limit setting, and consistency in routines were examined. Both parental sensitivity and structure moderated the effect of preadoption adversity on children's emotion regulation while greater consistency was associated with better inhibitory control and fewer attention problems. Results support the notion that postadoption parenting during toddlerhood and the early preschool years promotes better regulation skills following early adversity.

Increased freezing and decreased positive affect in postinstitutionalized children / Sarah A. STELLERN in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 55-1 (January 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 55-1 (January 2014) . - p.88-95 Titre : Increased freezing and decreased positive affect in postinstitutionalized children Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Sarah A.

GUNNAR, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.88-95 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Deprivation  neglect  fear  positive affect  international adoption  institutional care Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Early neglect is associated with increased risk of internalizing disorders in humans and with increased fear behavior in animals. When children are adopted out of orphanages in which they experienced institutional neglect, anxiety and depressive disorders often are not seen until adolescence. What has not been examined is whether even young children adopted from institutional care exhibit heightened fear or behavioral inhibition. Method Children adopted between 15 and 35 months from institutional care were examined twice during their first year postadoption and compared with children of the same age reared in their birth families. A modified version of the Laboratory Temperament Assessment Battery for Preschoolers was used with the children being exposed to two mechanical toys designed to be highly arousing and fear eliciting. Because children in institutions tend to exhibit low levels of positive affect, the children were also examined during exposure to two positive stimuli. Sessions were videotaped and coded by observers blind to the study purpose. Results Postinstitutionalized children froze more in fear vignettes and were less positive in both fear and positive vignettes than nonadopted children. Group differences did notdiminish significantly from the first session to the next, 6 months later. Conclusions Children exposed to early institutional neglect exhibit emotional biases that are consistent with their previously demonstrated risk for the development of internalizing disorders.
