On the other hand, tangible supports do not appear to be an important source of support in dealing with challenging aspects of fostering when caregivers perceive a lower frequency of disruptive child disruptive behaviors. In fact, for caregivers in this study that reported a lower frequency of child behaviors, more tangible resources were associated with more reported challenges with fostering. Past research has noted that higher income foster caregivers have reported lower fulfillment in their role as a foster caregiver . It is possible that caregivers that report lower income or tangible supports may perceive fewer challenges with fostering because they are more tolerant of disruptive child behaviors or have a more realistic perspective of their อุปถัมภ์ role . Additionally, it may be that these foster parents have been faced with other challenges in their lives and therefore they are better prepared to deal with the challenges of fostering.Perhaps future researchers could examine the relationship between foster parent’s perceptions of child behaviors with various personal supports, notably tangible resources, in order to better understand whether these findings are to other populations and why this relationship may exist.
