The object of the investigation was to study the behaviour and adjustment of Finnish children following their immigration to Sweden, and to see whether there was any connection between the families' acclimatization and the children's adjustment at the time of the investigation, three years after their migration from Finland. The material consisted of 40 children from 27 families. The parents were interviewed by a Finnish psychologist. The results were co-ordinated with those of an investigation of the same children at school. To judge from the parents' statements, behavioural disorders were to be found in the children more often after immigration than prior to it or three years after. The disturbances most often mentioned as appearing after migration were shyness, poor self-esteem, nail-biting and psychomotor unrest. Children from homes where the parents reported the existence of relationship disturbances, problems with alcohol or depression were more often maladjusted and had greater difficulty in being accepted at school. Even if the adjustment of immigrant children to school can be improved by educational measures, this should also be considered in the context of the families' and parents' situation in society.
这项调查的目的是研究芬兰儿童移民到瑞典后的行为及适应情况，以及考察在他们从芬兰移民三年后的调查时点，家庭的适应与孩子的适应之间是否存在关联。调查材料包括来自27个家庭的40名儿童。由一位芬兰心理学家对家长进行访谈。研究结果与对这些孩子在学校情况的调查结果进行了整合。从家长的陈述来看，与移民前或移民三年后相比，移民后孩子出现行为障碍的情况更为常见。移民后最常被提及的行为障碍是害羞、自卑、咬指甲和精神运动性不安。家长报告存在关系问题、酗酒问题或抑郁症的家庭中的孩子，更常出现适应不良的情况，并且在学校更难被接纳。即使通过教育措施可以改善移民儿童对学校的适应情况，但这也应该结合家庭和家长在社会中的状况来考虑。
