Brown, Jason D.; George, Natalie; St. Arnault, David; Sintzel, Jennifer

A random sample of Canadian foster parents were asked about the importance of culture in fostering. In response to the question "What values, beliefs and traditions were you raised with and feel are important?," a total of 74 different responses were received. These responses were grouped together by foster parents and the groupings analyzed using multidimensional scaling and cluster analysis. Seven concepts emerged from the groupings, including: (1) spirituality, (2) nationality, (3) personal experience, (4) religion, (5) responsibilities, (6) respect, and (7) right and wrong. These results are compared to the literature. Similarities and differences are noted. (Contains 1 figure and 2 tables.)
