Abstract Details

2003, Master of Science, Miami University, Family and Child Studies.
The purpose of this study was to investigate parental factors that may influence the incorporation of traditions and activities from an adoptee’s birth culture into their adoptive home. This study focused on analyzing the relationship between two demographic variables, adoptive parent’s individual level of education at the time of adoption and time adoptive parent’s spent living in their child’s birth culture prior to adoption in relation to their participation in birth culture traditions and activities. Sixty-seven subjects were surveyed using a questionnaire designed to measure the types of traditions and activities incorporated into the adoptive home from the adoptee’s birth culture. The questionnaire was also designed to measure the frequency to which adoptees were exposed to their birth culture. Results were examined to determine if parent’s level of education and time spent living in the child’s birth culture affected the incorporation of birth culture traditions and activities that were incorporated into the adoptive home. Results were analyzed using an analysis of variance (ANOVA). The hypotheses were not statistically supported. Other trends in the data, limitations of the study, and suggestions for future research are discussed.
