Young foster children have invariably faced a variety of risks that are strongly linked to long-term deficits in functioning across multiple developmental domains. Despite these risks, however, some children demonstrate more favorable outcomes and exhibit adaptation and the development of assets. In the present study, the relationship of early childhood factors (e.g., maltreatment history, placement history, parenting practices, environmental stress, developmental status, and attachment behavior) to the development of favorable outcomes in middle childhood were examined in a sample of foster children who had been in foster care in preschool (N = 35). Favorable outcomes were defined as demonstrations of emotion regulation and school adjustment in during middle childhood. Developmental status (particularly attention and executive functioning) and a lack of environmental stress during early childhood foster care experiences had a significant positive relationship with the development of emotion regulation and school adjustment in middle childhood.
年幼的寄养儿童总是面临着各种风险，这些风险与多个发展领域长期的功能缺陷密切相关。然而，尽管存在这些风险，一些儿童仍表现出更有利的结果，并展现出适应能力和资产的发展。在本研究中，我们在一个曾在学前阶段接受寄养照顾的寄养儿童样本（N = 35）中，考察了幼儿期因素（如虐待史、安置史、养育方式、环境压力、发育状况和依恋行为）与童年中期有利结果发展之间的关系。有利结果被定义为童年中期情绪调节和学校适应的表现。发育状况（特别是注意力和执行功能）以及幼儿期寄养照顾经历中缺乏环境压力，与童年中期情绪调节和学校适应的发展呈显著正相关。
