Assessing Community Connectedness and Self-Regard in a Mid-Life Follow-up of British Chinese Adoptions
Researchers studied community belonging, identity and self-regard among 72 Hong Kong-born women adopted into British families in the 1960s. They developed questionnaires and examined connections between community belonging and wellbeing alongside interviews. The abstract does not give specific association results.
Limitations: A historical female cohort does not represent all transracial or intercountry adoptees. Results of the association analyses are not supplied because the abstract does not report them. Only the publisher-deposited abstract was reviewed; regional coverage and additional methods are not inferred where unstated. Related programme publications may use overlapping participants; these are separate publications, not independent replications. UK research context does not confirm an exclusively England/Wales sample. Three authors were affiliated with BAAF in research or policy roles. This is an adoption-sector organisational relationship, additional to the journal publication relationship; readers may take it into account.
