Emotion regulation in children following severe early deprivation
The thesis examined emotion regulation in 96 Romanian adoptees and 24 UK adoptees at age 11, using observations and interviews alongside earlier attachment and peer information. Emotional dysregulation was associated with longer deprivation; statistical models examined attachment and peer difficulties as possible pathways.
Limitations: Statistical mediation does not establish causation. Measures from observers and interviews should not all be interpreted as direct accounts of adoption. The historical severe-deprivation cohort overlaps with other ERA papers and differs from most domestic adoption pathways.
