34To explore protective and risk factors in adoption adjustment on a sampleof 30 previously institutionalised adopted children by investigating the correspondencebetween mother and childrens' pattern of attachment and children's emotionalcompetence. Method: Six to nine months after adoption, the Adult Attachment Interviewwas administered to each mother. Twelve to 18 months after adoption, children's patternof attachment was assessed using the Manchester Child Attachment Story Task; two yearsafter adoption children's emotional understanding was tested by means of the Test ofEmotion Comprehension. Results: A correspondence of 76,6% (k = 0,47) was foundbetween mothers' secure-autonomous state of mind and children's secure attachment.Although adoptees showed impaired performance in emotion comprehension comparedto normative data (t = -3,238, p ≤ 0,005), a correlation was found between impairedemotional competence and insecure (rpb = 0,46) and disorganized attachment (rpb = 0,44).Conclusion: Adoptive mothers' secure mental representation of attachment representsa protective factor for adopted children's attachment distribution. A secure andorganised attachment pattern in late adopted children is associated with better emotionalunderstanding.
