Although internationally adopted children experience elevated sleep problems and psychosocial difficulties, little research has evaluated predictors and correlates of sleep issues in this population. The current study aims to address gaps in current research by examining associations between pre-adoptive risk, sleep disturbance, emotion lability/negativity, and internalizing and externalizing behavior in a sample of internationally adopted children. Parents completed questionnaires about the children's (N = 109; M age = 7.9, SD = 1.5; 39.6% male, 60.4% female) history, behavior, and functioning. Results reveal that sleep difficulties and emotion lability/negativity later in childhood mediated the relation between pre-adoptive conditions and internalizing and externalizing behavior in a sample of internationally adopted children. Future studies of internationally adopted children are needed to continue exploring trajectories of sleep problems and other self-regulatory difficulties in this population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
