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

  1. What did the intervention and comparison sessions involve?
  2. How were mother and child emotional availability assessed?
  3. 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.
