Does Father Know Best? A Formal Model of the Paternal Influence on Childhood Social Anxiety

Abstract: We explore paternal social anxiety as a specific risk factor for childhood social anxiety in a rational optimization model. In the course of human evolution, fathers specialized in external protection (e.g., confronting the external world) while mothers specialized in internal protection (e.g., providing comfort and food). Thus, children may instinctively be more influenced by the information signaled by paternal versus maternal behavior with respect to potential external threats. As a result, if fathers exhib… Show more

“…Altogether the findings described above are in line with proposed paternal and maternal differences regarding child development and the proposed unique role of fathers in the prediction of children's emotional development (e.g., Bögels & Perotti, 2011; Lamb, 2000; Paquette, 2004). From an evolutionary perspective, fathers are considered to be more inclined to challenge their children, stimulate risk taking, and more often engage in playful interactions with their children, whereas mothers tend to have a more caring and nurturing parenting role (Möller, Majdandžić, de Vente, & Bögels, 2013).…”

“…Overall, boys are being activated more by their fathers than girls (Gaumon and Paquette 2013;Paquette and Bigras 2010). Thus, fathers play a unique role in the development of children's autonomy and their openness to the outside world (Paquette 2004), which contributes to the development of children's social competences (Bögels and Perotti 2011). In line with this, it can be concluded that fathers seem to stimulate children to expand their outside world, whereas mothers provide security in a child's inner world.…”

“…Op grond van theorieën over een verschil in opvoedingsrol tussen vader en moeder (Bögels & Perotti, 2011;Bögels & Phares, 2008;Paquette, 2004) werd verwacht dat vaders uitdagender en minder overbetrokken opvoedingsgedrag zouden vertonen dan moeders. Dit werd wel gevonden voor het jongste kind, maar niet voor het oudste kind.…”

“…Zoals verwacht verminderde uitdaging door vaders de sociale angst van hun oudste kind. Dit komt overeen met theorieën die stellen dat de activerende relatie die een vader met zijn kind heeft (Paquette, 2004) de functie heeft om het kind zijn of haar grenzen te doen verleggen, en op die manier een beschermende factor kan vormen tegen de ontwikkeling van angst bij het kind (Bögels & Perotti, 2011;Bögels & Phares, 2008). Uitdaging door moeders bleek sociale angst van hun oudste kind juist te versterken.…”
