Institutional rearing negatively impacts the development of children's social skills and executive functions (EF). However, little is known about whether childhood social skills mediate the effects of the foster care intervention (FCG) and foster caregiving quality following early institutional rearing on EF and social skills in adolescence. We examined (a) whether children's social skills at 8 years mediate the impact of the FCG on the development of EF at ages 12 and 16 years, and (b) whether social skills and EF at ages 8 and 12 mediate the relation between caregiving quality in foster care at 42 months and subsequent social skills and EF at age 16. Participants included abandoned children from Romanian institutions, who were randomly assigned to a FCG (n = 68) or care as usual (n = 68), and a never-institutionalized group (n = 135). At ages 8, 12, and 16, social skills were assessed via caregiver and teacher reports and EF were assessed via the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery. Caregiving quality of foster caregivers was observed at 42 months. FCG predicted better social skills at 8 years, which in turn predicted better EF in adolescence. Higher caregiver quality in foster care at 42 months predicted better social skills at 8 and 12 years, and better EF at 12 years, which in turn predicted 16-year EF and social skills. These findings suggest that interventions targeting caregiving quality within foster care home environments may have long-lasting positive effects on children's social skills and EF.

寄养干预和照料质量对机构养育后执行功能和社交技能双向发展的影响

机构教养对儿童社交技能和执行功能 (EF) 的发展产生负面影响。然而,关于童年社会技能是否调解寄养干预 (FCG) 的影响以及早期机构养育后的寄养照料质量对青春期 EF 和社交技能的影响知之甚少。我们检查了 (a) 儿童 8 岁时的社交技能是否介导了 FCG 对 12 岁和 16 岁时 EF 发展的影响,以及 (b) 8 岁和 12 岁时的社交技能和 EF 是否介导了照料质量之间的关系在 42 个月时接受寄养,随后在 16 岁时获得社交技能和 EF。参与者包括来自罗马尼亚机构的被遗弃儿童,他们被随机分配到 FCG(n  = 68)或照常照料(n = 68),以及一个从未制度化的群体 ( n  = 135)。在 8 岁、12 岁和 16 岁时,通过看护者和教师报告评估社交技能,并通过剑桥神经心理测试自动成套测试评估 EF。在 42 个月时观察寄养者的照料质量。FCG 预测 8 岁时有更好的社交技能,这反过来又预测青春期有更好的 EF。42 个月时寄养中较高的照料者质量预示着 8 岁和 12 岁时更好的社交技能,以及 12 岁时更好的 EF,这反过来又预测了 16 年的 EF 和社交技能。这些发现表明,针对寄养家庭环境中的照料质量的干预措施可能对儿童的社交技能和 EF 产生长期的积极影响。
