Personal Strengths and Traumatic Experiences Among Institutionalized Children Given Up at Birth (Les Enfants de Duplessis???Duplessis??? Children)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In a companion article, we retrospectively examined the childhood strengths and adverse experiences of a group of orphans given up at or near birth and raised in Quebec institutions. This article examines the relationship of their early experiences to functioning and symptoms in later adulthood. The same follow-up interview of 81 adults (41 women, 40 men) at a mean age of 59.2 years included assessments of their current symptoms and functioning. The mean adult Social and Occupational Functioning Score (57.8; 95% CI, 54.7-61.0) indicated moderate difficulty. Psychiatric symptoms were significantly higher than in a matched population survey sample from Quebec. Mean overall defensive functioning indicated a neurotic (inhibited) level. Total trauma and childhood strengths predicted adult outcomes, but childhood strengths moderated the effects of trauma. Institutionalization of children--if unavoidable--must build in effective safeguards against adverse experiences, especially among children with few strengths, and foster children's strengths to avoid impaired adult outcomes.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
