The relationship between disciplinary practices of 70 foster parents (kin and nonkin) and aggression in their 8-year-old foster children was examined. Aggressive behavior was assessed through child and foster parent reports, whereas disciplinary behavior was examined by asking foster parents how they would typically respond to five child misbehaviors. Kinship foster parents (64.8%) were significantly more likely than nonkinship foster parents (30.2%) to report that they would use harsh discipline (p < .01). No significant relationship was found between foster parent reports of child aggression and their reports of disciplinary behavior. However, foster parents who reported they would use harsher discipline were more likely to have children in their care who generated multiple aggressive solutions to social problems (odds ratio = 2.7, p < .01). The evidence suggesting that the disciplinary practices of foster parents may influence children's social aggression is discussed in relation to future research, policy, and interventions.
研究了70名寄养父母（亲属和非亲属）的管教方式与其8岁寄养儿童攻击行为之间的关系。通过儿童和寄养父母的报告评估攻击行为，而通过询问寄养父母他们通常会如何应对五种儿童不当行为来考察管教行为。亲属寄养父母（64.8%）比非亲属寄养父母（30.2%）更有可能报告他们会采用严厉的管教方式（p < .01）。寄养父母对儿童攻击行为的报告与其管教行为的报告之间未发现显著关系。然而，报告称会采用更严厉管教方式的寄养父母，其照料的孩子在面对社会问题时更有可能产生多种攻击性行为的解决办法（优势比 = 2.7，p < .01）。结合未来的研究、政策和干预措施，讨论了表明寄养父母的管教方式可能影响儿童社会攻击行为的证据。
