“…This study showed that developmental delay influenced academic performance later on via the mediational effect of attention problems. Although it is not entirely clear how early deprivation is related to attention problems, research on international adoptees with early adversity has frequently reported this type of difficulty (e.g., Dalen, 2007;Glennen & Bright, 2005;Hoksbergen, Ter Laak, van Dijkum, Rijk, & Stoutjesdijk, 2003). How these children's attention problems might interact with their gender and Asian background, stereotypes about Asian children, and teacher expectations deserves further investigation.…”

Longitudinal data on 177 school-age adopted Chinese girls (Time 1: mean age = 8.92 years, SD = 1.76; Time 2: mean age = 11.18 years, SD = 1.79) were analyzed to determine their long-term outcomes in behavioral adjustment, academic performance (measured with the Child Behavior Checklist/6-18), and social skills (measured with the Social Skills Rating System) and how these outcomes were related to preadoption adversity. More than 90% of the girls were adopted at 24 months or younger (M = 19.25, SD = 21.67). Results revealed that over a 2-year period, there was a moderate to strong stability in the children's behavioral adjustment and academic performance. However, there was a significant increase in the number of children with deviant internalizing problems. At both times, higher degrees of preadoption adversity were related to more internalizing problems and poorer academic performance. Children who were adopted at older ages had poorer academic performance. Children who were older had a lower level of assertion and a higher level of responsibility. Children's attention problems at Time 1 mediated the effect of preadoption adversity on academic performance at Time 2.

“…It is unclear whether these elevated problems reflect an effect of adolescence or if these symptoms might be identified earlier if measured with child report assessments and/or in middle childhood. There are surprisingly few studies of PI children during middle childhood (e.g., Dalen & Rygvold, 2006; Hoksbergen, ter Laak, van Dijkum, Rijk, & Stoutjesdijk, 2003).…”

Background-Experience in institutional/orphanage care has been linked to increased mental health problems. Research suggests children adopted from institutions experience specific difficulties related to inattention/overactivity. Evidence of internalizing and conduct problems relative to non-adopted peers has been found in early childhood and early adolescence, but problems may not differ from other adopted children. This study clarifies the understanding of behavioral and emotional symptoms of post-institutionalized (PI) children during middle childhood.

“…Much less is known about the later language and literacy skills of internationally adopted children. Many researchers who have studied school-age children have focused on issues of adjustment, self-concepts, and behavior problems (e.g., Hoksbergen, ter Laak, van Dijkum, Rijk, & Stoutjesdijk, 2003). Others have used measures of intelligence as outcome measures (e.g., Morison & Ellwood, 2000).…”
