Can supported reflection on everyday interaction help build connection after adoption?
The trial examines a video-feedback intervention intended to improve sensitive parenting and emotional availability in adoptive relationships.
Who was studied?
Eighty adoptive mother–child dyads with post-institutionalized children
Age / stage: Young children; mean age approximately 33 months
Read with three questions
- What did the intervention and comparison sessions involve?
- How were mother and child emotional availability assessed?
- Which genetic-moderator findings were null and why did sample size matter?
Keep the limits in view
The modest sample limited the genetic-moderation analyses. The study focused on adoptive mothers and post-institutionalized children; it cannot establish the same effects for other caregivers or settings.
