| Abstract | Background: Internationally adopted children who suffered early institutionalization are at risk of a late onset of internalizing problems in adolescence. Both pre -adoption, adversity -related, and post -adoption factors predict variability in internalizing problems in this population. Previous studies have suggested different patterns of parentadolescent informant discrepancies in adoptive dyads. Method: We analyzed internalizing problems among 66 adolescents internationally adopted from Russia to Spanish families using both the parentand self -report version of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire and comparing them with a low -risk, community group ( n = 30). We assessed pre -adoption and post -adoption factors and evaluated cross -informant discrepancies. Results: Internationally adopted adolescents exhibited more internalizing problems by parent -report than community adolescents, but there were no differences by self -report. Adopted youth showed no discrepancies between parent and self -report, whereas community adolescents reported more internalizing symptoms than their parents. Pre -adoption adversity -related factors predicted parent -reported internalizing problems, while post -adoption factors predicted self -reported internalizing problems. Conclusions: Parent -adolescent informant discrepancies in adopted adolescents from Eastern Europe for internalizing symptoms were lower than in community adolescents. Both adversity -related factors and the lived experience of adoption may influence the development of internalizing symptoms in internationally adopted adolescents. |
