Behavior Patterns Associated with Institutional Deprivation: A Study of Children Adopted from Romania
Abstract
This study examined the prevalence and persistence of behaviors associated with institutional rearing in a sample of 144 children from Romania adopted by UK families. Patterns of rocking, self-injury, unusual sensory interests, and eating problems were assessed in children aged between a few weeks and 43 months who were adopted from institutional care. Forty-seven percent of the institutionally reared children rocked at the time of UK entry and 24% engaged in self-injurious behavior. By age 6 years, the percentages were 18% and 13%, respectively. Eleven percent of the children were displaying unusual sensory interests at the time of arrival, and at 6 years 13% of the children did so. Fifteen percent of the children were still experiencing difficulties with chewing and swallowing solid food at age 6 years. The primary factor affecting the prevalence and persistence of the behaviors was the length of time the children had spent in institutional deprivation.

“We investigated the cause of this potential publication bias by performing leave-one-out analyses and found that it was due to the inclusion of data from one cohort, the ERA Study (15, 45, 46), which comprised a comparatively small sample (N=90-148) with large effect sizes linked to severe institutional neglect”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
