Problem Checklist

41 adopted and 2,991 nonadopted children were compared on a behavior problem checklist completed by teachers. Adopted youngsters exceeded their nonadopted peers in frequency of disorders, especially conduct problems but also personality problems and socialized delinquency. Incidence of personality problems increased for adopted children from kindergarten through eighth grade and increased and then declined for nonadopted children over the same period. Boys experienced more maladjustment than girls, and differences between the sexes were greater for adopted than nonadopted youngsters on conduct problems, personality problems, and socialized delinquency.

Regular Classes

2,991 white children in regular classes and 106 white children requiring speech therapy were compared on Quay's Behavior Problem Checklist. The former had fewer problems checked in areas such as personality disorders and inadequacy-immaturity than did the latter, as expected, although the amount of variance accounted for was small. The groups did not differ on conduct problems and socialized deliquency. A question was raised about variations in psychotic signs.

Different Levels

This study examined the relationships of birth order and family size to psychological adjustment in native-born, white children ( N = 2,991) in Grades K-8, using the Behavior Problem Checklist. Multiple regression analyses of variance yielded two significant effects for conduct problems and socialized delinquency when different levels of birth order were considered individually and only one significant finding for socialized delinquency when the various family sizes were examined separately.

Normal Adolescents

Adolescent boys and girls aged 14 to 18 years, identified as either behaviorally disordered or normal, were rated by their teachers on the Behavior Problem Checklist. Analysis of these ratings revealed significant differences for pupil category, Behavior Problem Checklist dimension, and category by dimension interaction, but no significan differences for sex alone or in interaction with other factors. Behaviorally disordered and normal pupils were best discriminated from one another on the basis of Conduct Disorder and Personality Problem. Implications for further research and special educational practices based on the present findings were discussed.

And Control

This is a five year follow-up study of adopted children and adolescents. Thirty-five adoptees and 23 control subjects were assessed. Five years earlier, the initial sample consisted of 57 pairs of adoptees and controls. The study showed that both adopted and control subjects were improved at the follow-up assessment and that there were no significant differences in clinical diagnoses and social adaptation between the groups. Compared with the controls, the adoptees were scored higher on a behaviour scale (Revised Behavior Problem Checklist) by parents. Adoption by the sixth month of age was associated with better overall psychosocial functioning. Significantly more adoptees were not living with their adoptive families. Factors associated with outcome are discussed.
