研究人员将罗马尼亚机构收养的 127 名儿童（68 名女孩和 59 名男孩）的严重早期机构剥夺与 11 岁时学业成绩之间的关系与英国境内非机构背景收养的 49 名儿童（17 名女孩和 32 名男孩）的学业成绩进行了比较。总体而言，从罗马尼亚收养的儿童的成绩分数明显低于在英国收养的儿童；在罗马尼亚样本中，在机构中度过 6 个月或以上的儿童的成绩分数显着低于在机构中度过不到 6 个月的儿童，但 6 个月后，不存在与机构护理时间较长相关的额外低成绩风险。与国内收养的儿童相比，从罗马尼亚机构收养的儿童的学业成绩较低，这是由智商造成的，在较小程度上是由注意力不集中/过度活跃造成的。当考虑到这些因素时，组间的成绩仅存在很小的差异。
The relationship between severe early institutional deprivation and scholastic attainment at age 11 in 127 children (68 girls and 59 boys) adopted from institutions in Romania was compared to the attainment of 49 children (17 girls and 32 boys) adopted within the UK from a non-institutional background. Overall, children adopted from Romania had significantly lower attainment scores than those adopted within the UK; the children within the Romanian sample who had spent 6 months or more in an institution had significantly lower attainment scores than those who had spent less than 6 months in an institution, but there was no additional risk of low attainment associated with longer institutional care after 6 months. The lower scholastic attainment in the children adopted from Romanian institutions, as compared with domestic adoptees, was mediated by IQ, and to a lesser degree, inattention/overactivity. When these factors were taken into account, only small between-group differences in attainment remained.
