The determinants of fathering during the child's second and third years of life: a developmental analysis

Article Abstract:

A study reveals the significance of the fathers personality and attitudes on levels and patterns of fathering during toddlerhood. Other determinants of fathering during the early years of a child's life are the social-contextual factors and the socioeconomic status of the family. However, fathering is least influenced by the characteristics of the child. The analysis used the hierarchical linear modelling procedures and the results satisfy Belsky's model of the determinants of parenting. The observations were made at four stages of the child's life, namely, 15, 21, 27, and 33 months.

Fathering and acculturation: immigrant Indian families with young children

Article Abstract:

Observation of Indian immigrant families in Pennsylvania revealed that the most acculturated fathers were the most involved with their children and the least acculturated were the least involved. Researchers observed 40 two-parent Indian families in their homes, and classified fathers into engaged, caretaker or disengaged groups. Engaged fathers were at least twice as involved in all aspects of fathering as the caretaker fathers. These two groups were more acculturated to the US than the disengaged group, as partly indicated by their involvement in fathering.

Article Abstract:

The nature of the parental relationship plays a substantial part in child development. New parents have to negotiate each other's ideas about child rearing. A study examines this coparenting process. The cases of 69 families with first born toddler boys is analyzed. Both men and women in the study devote the same amount of time to parenting tasks. The men are more appreciative of women's work than vice versa.
