Abstract	The current study attempted to test a meditational model suggesting that maternal harsh discipline practices and children's social information processing mediate the relation between family chaos and children's disruptive behavior. Participants included 97 preschool children and their caregivers. Parents completed two questionnaires and children participated in assessments to measure social information processing. Results of the current study suggest that children from chaotic home environments are more likely to experience maternal harsh discipline practices. However, results did not support the overall meditational model. None of the variables significantly predicted child behavior problems. It is likely that measurement issues, including poor reliability of measures as well as a single method of assessment for many of the variables, contributed to the insignificant findings.
