A non-experimental, descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted. The sample consisted of 119 Argentine parents with children between the ages of 3 and 7. Of these, 41 parents had adopted a child with a history of institutional care, 38 had adopted a child with a history of foster care, and 40 were biological parents whose children had no history of alternative care. The Preschool and Kindergarten Behavior Scale (PKBS) by Merrell (2003), adapted in Argentina by Reyna and Brussino (2009), was used to measure the variables studied. Adopted children with a history in institutional care obtained significantly lower scores in the three social skills assessed (social cooperation, social interaction, and social independence) and significantly higher scores in the two behavior problems assessed (internalizing and externalizing) compared to the other two groups. No significant differences were found in social skills and behavioral problems between the group of adopted children with a history of foster care and the group of children without a history of alternative care who have lived with their biological family since birth. Foster care could be considered a protective factor for children at risk. 2024 artículo científico 0123-9155 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=79880103003 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/798/79880103003/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/798/79880103003/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/798/79880103003/79880103003.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/798/79880103003/movil 10.14718/ACP.2024.27.2.1 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=798 Acta Colombiana de Psicología application/pdf Universidad Católica de Colombia Acta Colombiana de Psicología (Colombia) Num.2 Vol.27 |
