Children adopted from institutions (e.g., orphanages) overseas are at increased risk of disturbances in social relationships and social understanding. Not all post-institutionalized children exhibit these problems, although factors like the severity of deprivation and duration of deprivation increase their risk. To date, few studies have examined whether post-adaption parenting might moderate the impact of early adverse care. Three groups were studied: post-institutionalized and foster care children both adopted internationally and non-adopted children reared in their families of origin. The Emotional Availability (EA) Scales were assessed at 18 months in parent–child dyad s. Parent emotional availability was found to predict two aspects of social functioning shown in previous studies to be impaired in post-institutionalized children. Specifically, EA positively correlated with emotion understanding at 36 months; in interaction with initiation of joint attention at 18 months and group, it predicted indiscriminate friendliness as scored from a parent attachment interview at 30 months. Among the post-institutionalized children but not among the children in other groups, higher EA scores reduced the negative association between initiation of joint attention and indiscriminate friendliness, thus suggesting that parenting quality may moderate the effects of early institutional deprivation.
