Four composite variables concerning life outcomes were derived from a brief mail questionnaire describing 478 adults, now in their 30s and 40s, who had participated as children in the Texas Adoption Project. Responses were obtained from the participants themselves, their parents, and their siblings. MMPI scores of the parental generation were correlated with the adult outcomes of their biologically related and unrelated children. The obtained correlations were low, but for the biological relationships positive parent adjustment went with positive life outcomes of their children, whereas for adoptive relationships the reverse was the case. Favorable MMPI scores from late adolescence were favorably related to adult outcomes, as were favorable personality ratings from childhood.
通过一份简短的邮件调查问卷得出了四个与生活结果相关的复合变量，该问卷描述了478名年龄在三四十岁的成年人，他们小时候都参与过德州收养项目。调查对象包括参与者本人、他们的父母和兄弟姐妹。父母一代的明尼苏达多相人格测验（MMPI）分数与他们亲生和非亲生子女的成年结果相关。所得的相关性较低，但就亲生关系而言，父母积极的调适与子女积极的生活结果相关，而对于收养关系来说情况则相反。青春期后期良好的MMPI分数与成年结果呈正相关，童年时期良好的人格评分也是如此。
