Summary/Abstract: Like other countries, Romania exports labour permanently or seasonally. In the second scenario, the question of the psychological price paid by children left at home arises. A number of answers have already been accumulated, but this natural experiment of occupational migration still offers much room for investigation. Can the ontogenetic dynamics of childhood self-image act as a protective factor? Does the constellation of parental absence matter? How do the two variables interfere on global self-image/on sub-components? These are the stakes of the present study, carried out on a group of 175 preschoolers and young schoolchildren from the cities of Galați and Iași.
