Abstract

Abstract The aim of the study was to compare adoptees and nonadoptees regarding their romantic relationship experiences and model the factors that predict these experiences (psychological characteristics and characteristics of their adoption pathway). Attachment, resilience, mental health, dyadic adjustment and commitment were assessed in 220 adopted adults matched with 220 nonadoptees. The groups did not differ on the experience of romantic love. Psychological characteristics were predictive of romantic experience. By contrast, romantic experience was not predicted by most of our adoption pathway-related characteristics. Finally, the effect of attachment security on dyadic adjustment was moderated by the group (adoptees vs nonadoptees).

被收养者的浪漫关系:与非被收养者的比较、收养途径的心理预测因素和长期影响

摘要本研究的目的是比较被收养者和非被收养者的恋爱经历，并建立预测这些经历的因素(心理特征和收养途径特征)模型。对220名被收养的成年人和220名未被收养的成年人进行了依恋、恢复力、心理健康、二元调整和承诺的评估。两组在浪漫爱情的体验上没有差异。心理特征可以预测浪漫经历。相比之下，浪漫经历并不能被大多数与收养路径相关的特征所预测。最后，依恋安全感对二元调整的影响被组(被收养者和非被收养者)所调节。
