Welcome to my study!

Thank you for taking the time to participate in this research project. This study explores the outcomes of adoption in adulthood from a psychological perspective and investigates the correlations between family adoption openness, self-concept clarity and attachment styles among adult adoptees. 

To participate, you must be 18 years of age or older and have been adopted during childhood.

Completing the survey will take approximately 7 to 10 minutes. Please be assured that your participation is voluntary and you may withdraw at any time. All responses are processed entirely anonymously and confidentially. The collected data will be used exclusively for academic purposes. Some of the questions relate to your personal experiences with adoption. If answering these questions causes you discomfort, you may stop the survey at any time without giving a reason. 

Please answer the items as honestly and spontaneously as possible based on your personal experience. 

If you have any questions about the study, please feel free to contact me at lisa.schaefer3@iu-study.org.
