- Abstract
- This study examined the trajectory of problem behaviours in domestically adopted children in South Korea as they aged. This study used the Panel Study on Korean Adopted Children's longitudinal, three-wave data (2006, 2008 and 2010). Although data were collected at three time points, our data consisted of six time points, which covered the 5-10years age range of the adopted children at the time of survey. One hundred sixty-four children were included in the analysis, 75 of whom contributed to one time point, 74 to two time points and 15 to three time points. The trajectory of the problem behaviours of adopted children was examined using a piecewise hierarchical linear growth model. Because the initial exploration of the data suggested non-linear changes in behaviour problems over time, we split the growth trajectory into two time periods: Time 1 (5-7years) and Time 2 (7-10years). A two-rate model was used to estimate separate slopes for the two time periods. Results showed that the externalizing and internalizing problems of adopted children have different trajectories. Internalizing problems did not show significant changes after 5years of age, while externalizing problems increased until 7years of age and decreased significantly thereafter.
