Examined appraisal of adoption and self-reported adoption related coping in eighty-five 6- to 17-year-old adoptees. Subjects were asked to rate their feelings about being adopted, the frequency with which they experienced intrusive thoughts about adoption, and their manner of coping with adoption-related stress. Older children expressed less positive affect and greater ambivalence about being adopted; younger children reported more intrusive adoption-related thoughts. No age differences emerged for adoption-related coping. Negative and ambivalent feelings about adoption were associated with avoidant coping; intrusive thoughts were associated with assistance seeking, cognitive-behavioral problem-solving, and behavioral avoidant coping. Results are discussed in terms of a stress and coping model of adoption adjustment. |
