On the other hand, tangible supports do not appear to be an important source of support in dealing with challengingaspects of fostering when caregivers perceive a lower frequency of disruptive child disruptive behaviors. In fact, for caregiversin this study that reported a lower frequency of child behaviors, more tangible resources were associated with more reportedchallenges with fostering. Past research has noted that higher income foster caregivers have reported lower fulfillment intheir role as a foster caregiver . It is possible that caregivers that report lower income or tangible supportsmay perceive fewer challenges with fostering because they are more tolerant of disruptive child behaviors or have a morerealistic perspective of their fostering role . Additionally, it may be that these foster parents have beenfaced 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 withvarious personal supports, notably tangible resources, in order to better understand whether these findings are generalizableto other populations and why this relationship may exist.
