Psychoemotional features of the self-concept and the alexithymia of children during the period of adaptation to the foster family
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The study aims to define the specific manifestations of self-concept and the alexithymia level to understand the peculiarities of personality’s psychoemotional development during the children’s adaptation in foster families. Peculiarities of child’s self-concept manifestations were determined based on R. Burns’ conceptual provisions using the «Peirce-Harris Child Self-Concept Scale» technique. Alexithymia risks were determined based on the application of the Toronto Alexithymia Scale TAS-26. The research was based on comparing the psychodiagnostic data of the children during the adaptation period in foster families and the control group of children living with biological parents. MS Excel was used to process the empirical data (Student’s t-test, Pearson’s r correlation analysis). It was found that during the adaptation period in foster families, the children were characterized by specific manifestations of self-concept, namely, they doubted their attractiveness, had a high level of anxiety, and were less inclined to feel happy. At the same time, the manifestations of alexithymia in children from foster families and the control group do not reach significant differences. However, a higher proportion of the children from foster families were in the risk group. It is defined that children from foster families do not show the correlation between the level of alexithymia and manifestations of self-concept, in contrast to children living with biological parents. Thus, the need for special attention to the psychoemotional sphere of child development during adaptation to foster families is proved. The prospects for further research are to expand the subgroups under study to include children at different stages of living in a foster family. The study results are practically significant for specialists who provide support to foster families and can be used to form a program of interaction with foster families during the period of adaptation

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.
