Abstract

Adolescence is a particularly sensitive period for adoptees in regard to psychological, social, and physical transformations, particularly for children adopted from abroad. Past studies highlighted that age at adoption could have an effect on child development. Through our research on 350 internationally adopted adolescents in Quebec we show that the intensity of attachment behaviours to mothers, as well as maternal monitoring style, may have an impact on the emergence of behavioural problems in adolescence.
