Talk:Adoption study

Untitled
I made some edits to the lead section. I'll have a native english speaker check the grammar later to make it better.

Information to be added on to the Article It has been studied that behaviors are built from the way a person is raised or as we know as our environment and who we surround ourselves by. Many studies are done through experimenting on twins as well as children that are adopted vs children that aren't. In order to study what factors resemble a person's personality, adoption studies is most commonly used for testing. The reason for this is because experimenters are able to see and differentiate between the affect a human has by their biological factors and environmental factors. Another topic to observe is whether certain traits or habits a person expresses are inherited by their biological parents or adoptive parents. In addition, personality disorders are linked to adoption to determine if it is completely hereditary or if a person may adopt a disorder from the people they are raised by. Although adoption study is the most effective way of discovering how personalities are created, many times it is difficult to link an adopted child to their biological family or vise versa. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arianarodfiol (talk • contribs) 23:41, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

Update, March 31, 2016
You've done such an amazing job here, Ariana. I commend you for a job well done. Some ideas for moving forward: 1. You should really edit your first full paragraph, the one that goes at the top of the page, because the topic paragraph has to be short, concise, and basic. Take a look at the handouts from editing wikipedia early on in this semester for tips on how to write a strong topic paragraph at the beginning. 2. The stuff that you cut out from that first paragraph can be placed in the body of the article somewhere else. 3. You need to fix the grammar in your piece and also fix the citations at the end: citations from #11 onwards are not linked up with the text in any way. 4. Say more about the first adoption study that was used. 5. Maybe add more about how research from adoption studies are used today in policy and/or sociology?

You've done a great job and have earned an A for this rough draft. Alfgarciamora (talk) 17:56, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

Made a separate subcategory for personality instead of having it on the topic paragraph. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Leo Sammallahti (talk • contribs) 18:58, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

This article has the potential of being a great one that many can use if properly polished up. I think the addition of more research that possible more up to date could add more insight to this article. This article was good in the aspect that it remained neutral throughout. Each was talked about and expanded with studies but I felt like more can be added to really add credibility to this article. More citation can be added to create more verification and the lead section can be revised so it isn't as lengthy. The article needs to revised so that it flows better making it easier for future readers to able to read and comprehend what is being said. Hannahmw53 (talk) 03:42, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

More Details
I feel as though this page could use more details. Specifically on the types of adoption studies. I believe a link to the wiki page talking about the types of studies would be helpful. Desty081 (talk) 21:09, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

Pictures or Diagrams
I would like to see some pictures or helpful diagrams to aid in the learning of the subject. BBisiaux 29 (talk) 02:36, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
