This meta-analytic review examines the presence and quality of close peer relationships for adoptees and individuals with foster care experience. Results indicate that adoptees show difficulty forming close peer relationships compared with biologically reared individuals, but they do not differ in the quality of these relationships. In contrast, those with foster care experience report lower quality peer relationships than biologically reared individuals. Additionally, this meta-analysis includes prevalence rates of close peer relationships that illustrate most adoptees and foster youth report having high-quality peer relationships. These findings have important implications for intervention and prevention efforts and offer directions for future research on peer relationships among adoptees and foster youth, but should be considered in light of the presence of some publication bias.
本荟萃分析回顾了被收养者和有寄养经历者的亲密同伴关系的存在和质量。结果表明，与亲生父母抚养的个体相比，被收养者在形成亲密同伴关系方面存在困难，但他们在这些关系的质量上没有差异。相比之下，有寄养经历的人报告说，他们与亲生父母抚养的个体相比，同伴关系质量较低。此外，本荟萃分析还包括了亲密同伴关系的流行率，这些数据表明，大多数被收养者和寄养青少年报告说他们拥有高质量的同伴关系。这些发现对干预和预防工作具有重要意义，并为被收养者和寄养青少年的同伴关系研究提供了方向，但应考虑到存在一些发表偏倚。
