Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Most people first begin to understand themselves within the context of shared family stories. For adoptees, it is often challenging to understand their sense of self in relation to their families. The focus of this study was on how adoptees make meaning of their sense of self in relation to what they know about their families of origin. This project was designed with a hermeneutic phenomenological methodological framework to explore the first-hand experiences of six adult adoptees, from Canada and Australia, through in-depth audio-video recorded interviews, Five common themes emerged: 1) a sense of (ab)normality; 2) the importance of belonging; 3) a sense of self-expansion through acquired information and connections; 4) the unfolding of biography and ongoing evolution of self; and 5) the significance of being seen. The findings are discussed with relevance to the field of counseling psychology.

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
