“…The role that father–child interaction plays in fostering child EF development is understudied (Meuwissen & Carlson, 2015). In addition, although Chinese fathers are estimated to comprise one fifth of the world’s fathers (Anderson et al, 2017), studies of father–child interaction in modern Chinese culture are strikingly limited (Chuang et al, 2021; Li, 2020) and none focus on linkages between fathers’ involvement and young children’s EF. Given the central role of parenting in child EF and the paucity of research on Chinese father–child interaction, in the present study, we investigate the role of both maternal and paternal parenting on children’s EF.…”

“…To date, to our knowledge, no studies on potential fathering impacts on child EF have been conducted. Studies have reminded us that fathers’ involvement varies according to the demographics, geolocation, and age of the targeted children (Chuang et al, 2021; Li, 2020). We focus here on father–child interactions in the specific social and cultural context of Chinese fathers in Taiwan and with the specific age group of children at age 3 to shed light on potential influences of fathering on young children’s EF in this context.…”

“…Studies on Chinese fathers’ and potential impacts on child EF do not yet exist. Although there has been little research on Chinese fathering, reviews have indicated that the role of contemporary Chinese fathers has undergone many changes in recent times (Chuang et al, 2021; Li, 2018, 2020). Contemporary Chinese fathers participate in much more childrearing than their predecessors (Li, 2018).…”

Parenting is known to impact children’s executive function (EF) skills. However, nearly all the evidence comes from analyses of mother–child interaction. Using the National Longitudinal Study of Child Development and Care Database in Taiwan, the relations between both mother–child and father–child interaction and 3-year-olds’ EF were investigated in 2,164 families. The results showed that mothers interacted with their children differently from fathers in terms of time distribution. Mothers were more equally involved in all aspects of parental involvement, whereas fathers spent more time in play. In addition, both mother–child and father–child play contributed to children’s EF; however, the mediating effect of child motor skills was more prominent for father–child play. This study not only suggests a potential distinct and complementary role of fathers in young children’s EF development but also indicates a unique mediating effect of motor skills in the path from parent–child play to child EF. Implications for parent education are discussed.

“…However, few studies have focused on fathers' psychological well-being (e.g., Schindler, 2010) from a father-centric perspective (Palkovitz & Hull, 2018). A focus on immigrant fathers in the literature has also been minimal (Chuang & Moreno, 2008). Most studies on immigrant families have focused on other family members, especially mothers and children, or, at most, on the father's role as part of the parental team (Strier & Roer-Strier, 2010).…”

In response to the dearth of research focusing solely on immigrant fathers, we propose the Integrative Conceptual Model to investigate the psychological well-being of recent immigrant fathers from East Asia to the United States. This model addresses how multiple factors in the society (e.g., policy), work and community (e.g., employment), family (e.g., father-child and couple relationships), and individual (e.g., education) levels in the host and home countries are linked to East Asian immigrant fathers’ adaptation to their new environment. More specifically, we focus on the unique risk factors and protective factors to their adjustment, which are vital to the psychological well-being of recent immigrant fathers from East Asia. The Integrative Conceptual Model contributes to the limited fatherhood literature to help understand the multifaceted nature of immigrant fatherhood. Implications include creating culturally sensitive education and intervention programs for East Asian immigrant fathers.
