The effects of return migration on emotional well-being were studied in those school-aged children and adolescents who had returned to northern Finland from Sweden during 1984 and 1985. Each of the 320 returning children and adolescents was assigned a control from the same class at school, matched for age and sex, who had not emigrated. According to a parent questionnaire, the returning boys were irritable more often than the control boys, and they also scored higher on the self-report scale "Children's Depression Inventory." In the teachers' evaluations (Rutter B2 Scale), the returning boys had psychiatric disorders more often than their controls. For both returning boys and girls, overall scholastic achievement was poorer than in the controls, but performance in foreign languages (mainly English) was better. If the father was absent from the family, this was reflected in the scholastic achievement and emotional well-being of both the returnees and the control subjects. How well the children coped with their return to Finland was also affected by what the language of instruction had been in Sweden, whether there had been a language change upon returning to Finland and how much mental preparation there had been for moving.
对1984年至1985年间从瑞典返回芬兰北部的学龄儿童和青少年进行了返乡移民对情绪健康影响的研究。320名返乡儿童和青少年中的每一个都被分配了一名来自同一班级、年龄和性别匹配且未移民的对照对象。根据家长问卷，返乡男孩比对照男孩更易怒，并且他们在“儿童抑郁量表”自我报告量表上的得分也更高。在教师评价（Rutter B2量表）中，返乡男孩患精神疾病的频率高于他们的对照对象。对于返乡的男孩和女孩来说，总体学业成绩都比对照对象差，但外语（主要是英语）成绩更好。如果父亲不在家，这会在返乡者和对照对象的学业成绩和情绪健康方面体现出来。孩子们应对返回芬兰的情况还受到在瑞典的教学语言、返回芬兰后是否有语言变化以及为搬家做了多少心理准备的影响。
