Shared Fate & Adopted Adolescent Adjustment: Implications for Acknowledging Racial & Ethnic Difference Kayla N. Anderson, M.A. Martha A. Rueter, Ph.D. Richard M. Lee, Ph.D. Oh Myo Kim, Ph.D. University of Minnesota, USA

Overview This Study! Shared Fate Overview Study Goals

What is the Goal? Shared Fate Race & Ethnicity Child Adjustment

Shared Fate Theory (Kirk, 1964) Acknowledging > rejecting differences for adoptee adjustment Shared Fate = empathy & creating mutual bonds

Shared Fate: Racial & Ethnic Differences (Kirk, 1984; Kim et al., 2013; Shiao & Tuan, 2008) Shared Fate ≠ Cultural Socialization Family identity -> multiracial and/or multicultural AcknowledgeRejectionDiscrepant

Study Improvements Where’s Shared Fate? Where’s the Family? What happens when family members don’t agree?

What We Did…. Shared fate (racial & ethnic differences) -> adolescent adjustment Where’s the …. ??Our Solution Shared Fate?- Acknowledging differences = Shared Fate Family?- Family observational measure - Multiple children in family Ability to disagree?- Coded for discrepancies within families

Study Participants Subset of Sibling Interaction & Behavior Study: 111 families with 222 adolescents Both parents White Answered race/ethnicity ??? ≥ 1 Korean adoptee in family

Study Procedures Observational Measures Self-Report Measures Shared FateAdolescent adjustment ?? About Race & Ethnicity Coded transcripts Adolescent self-report

Study Measures Shared Fate Adolescent adjustment Adoption Status AcknowledgeDelinquent Behavior Inventory (Gibson, 1967) Control variable Rejectionα =.891 = not adopted Discrepant2 = adopted

Data Analysis Nested ANCOVAs Nested data  Shared Family Variance Adolescents = individual cases

% of Families by Shared Fate Category 62 families: 56% 26 families: 23%

Differences in Delinquency by Shared Fate Category

Nested ANCOVA Results Comparisons between groups: Acknowledging differences < discrepant delinquent behaviors, η p 2 = -3.92, p =.004. Rejection of differences < discrepant delinquent behaviors, η p 2 = -2.28, p =.039. Acknowledging = rejection of differences. Shared Fate  adolescent delinquent behavior, F(2, 100) = 4.45, p =.014.

Conclusions Adoption status < important than family context? Discrepant views of differences = poorer adjustment (other two groups) Shared fate (race & ethnicity)  adolescent externalizing behavior

Future Directions replication Include discrepancies Other adoptee populations Shared fate  non-adoptive members How to reach shared fate?
