研究了寄养儿童身体和关系攻击行为的预测因素（N = 160，50.9%男性，M年龄= 7.57，SD = 2.39）。首先，预测代表儿童的安置历史进行了检查，在T1的儿童的侵略。接下来，代表当前家庭环境特征的预测因子与儿童在T2（4个月后）的攻击性有关。结果显示，更多的先前组家庭安置，并在非亲属家庭与较高的身体攻击在T1。更多的先前组家庭安置，定期家庭安置的数量较少，是在一个非亲属的家，和以前从家里删除，由于忽视与较高的关系侵略在T1。结果还显示，T1时寄养兄弟姐妹关系攻击性越高，预测T2时儿童身体攻击性越低。如果寄养兄弟姐妹是养父母的亲生子女，寄养兄弟姐妹在T1时的身体攻击水平较高，则预测T2时儿童身体攻击水平会降低。如果寄养兄弟姐妹不是养父母的亲生子女，则观察到相反的模式。最后，较长的时间在当前的位置，更多的孩子在家里，和存在的兄弟姐妹，是一个亲生的孩子的父母预测较高的儿童关系攻击在T2。这些发现提供了初步的见解如何安置历史和当前的家庭环境与寄养儿童的身体和关系的攻击行为。
Predictors of the physical and relational aggressive behavior of children in foster care were examined (N = 160, 50.9% male, M age = 7.57, SD = 2.39). First, predictors representative of children’s placement histories were examined in relation to the children’s aggression at T1. Next, predictors representing characteristics of the current family environment were examined in relation to the children’s aggression at T2 (four months later). Results revealed that a greater number of prior group home placements and being in a non-kinship home were associated with higher physical aggression at T1. A greater number of prior group home placements, a fewer number of regular home placements, being in a non-kinship home, and prior removal from the home due to neglect were associated with higher relational aggression at T1. The results also revealed that higher foster sibling relational aggression at T1 predicted lower child physical aggression at T2. If foster siblings were biological children of the foster parent, higher levels of a foster sibling’s physical aggression at T1 predicted reduced child physical aggression at T2. The opposite pattern was observed if foster siblings were not biological children of the foster parent. Lastly, longer time in the current placement, more children in the home, and the presence of a sibling that was a biological child of the parent predicted higher child relational aggression at T2. These findings provide initial insights into how placement history and current family environment are associated with the physical and relational aggressive behavior of children in foster care.
