ABSTRACT Some adoptive families are at risk for problems in family functioning. This study investigated the extent to which attachment to parents and affective responsiveness of the family predicted family cohesion and satisfaction with the adoptive family from both the child's and the parent's perspectives. Using a sample of 50 adopted children and their parents, our findings indicated that attachment to mother was salient in predicting children's perceptions of family cohesion and satisfaction with their adoptive family. Parental ratings of affective responsiveness of the family predicted parents' evaluation of family cohesion and their satisfaction with the adoption. As hypothesized, children and parents differed in their ratings of the cohesion and affective responsiveness of their family, with children reporting lower levels of these constructs than parents. Implications for practitioners and directions for future research are discussed.

收养家庭的依恋、情感反应和凝聚力：儿童和父母的观点

摘要 一些收养家庭面临家庭功能问题的风险。这项研究调查了对父母的依恋和家庭的情感反应从孩子和父母的角度预测家庭凝聚力和对收养家庭的满意度的程度。使用 50 名收养儿童及其父母的样本，我们的研究结果表明，对母亲的依恋在预测儿童对家庭凝聚力的看法和对收养家庭的满意度方面很重要。父母对家庭情感反应的评价可以预测父母对家庭凝聚力的评价以及他们对收养的满意度。正如假设的那样，儿童和父母对家庭凝聚力和情感反应的评价不同，儿童报告的这些结构水平低于父母。讨论了对从业者的影响和未来研究的方向。
