“…Many studies looking exclusively at the influence of variations in father love deal with two topics: (a) gender role development (Fish & Biller, 1973; Green, 1982; Huttenen, 1992; Millen & Roll, 1997; Musser & Fleck, 1983) and (b) father involvement (Amato & Rivera, 1999; Biller, 1993; K. N. Harris, Furstenberg, & Marmer, 1998; Radin, 1981). Studies of gender role development emerged prominently in the 1940s and continued through the 1970s (Lamb, 1997, 2000).…”

This article explores the cultural construction of fatherhood in America, as well as the consequences of this construction as a motivator for understudying fathers—especially father love—for nearly a century in developmental and family research. It then reviews evidence from 6 categories of empirical studies showing the powerful influence of fathers’ love on children's and young adults’ social, emotional, and cognitive development and functioning. Much of this evidence suggests that the influence of father love on offspring's development is as great as and occasionally greater than the influence of mother love. Some studies conclude that father love is the sole significant predictor of specific outcomes after controlling for the influence of mother love. Overall, father love appears to be as heavily implicated as mother love in offsprings’ psychological well-being and health, as well as in an array of psychological and behavioral problems.

“…Research on how sex-roles are transferred from one generation to the next confirms that children have a strong same-sex orientation (Smith and Self, 1980;Starrels, 1992). In many ways sons and daughters take their same-sex parent as a sex-role example for themselves (e.g., Huttunen, 1992;Updegraff et al, 1996). Here the leading hypothesis is that compared with the father the mother's educational and occupational status is important only for the daughter and compared with the mother, the father's socioeconomic influence is important only for the educational attainment of the son (Sex-Role Hypothesis).…”

The first objective of this article is to clarify which model best captures the structure and trend of the influence of social origin on children's education. The second objective is to analyse how general conclusions on historical trends in educational reproduction change if we add the mother's status background to the model. Six contrasting hypotheses are derived from the body of literature dealing with models on families' socioeconomic status. All hypotheses are translated into empirical models and their explained variance is compared. A pooled data set is used that contains data from the Netherlands, West Germany, and the USA. The Modified Dominance Model, that distinguishes the influence of the highest from the lowest status parent, has the best model fit. Regarding the second objective we see that adding the mother's influence to that of the father's does not change general conclusions on trends in educational reproduction. Over time the influence of both parents decreases continuously. However, the influence of the mother's education and occupational status on children's educational attainment is substantive.

“…In many ways, sons and daughters take their same-sex parent as an example for themselves (e.g. Huttunen, 1992;Updegraff et al, 1996). Thus, children may also tend to follow their parents' example regarding the sex-typing of their occupation.…”

To what extent do the mother's and father's jobs and occupational sextyping influence the status and sex-typing of their children's occupation at first entry into the labour market? Referring to a database containing 5027 respondents of two merged Dutch surveys held between 1992 and 1995, this study finds that the effect of the mother's occupational status on her daughter's is significant, but smaller than either the effect of father's status on his son's or his daughter's status. The mother's occupational sex-typing is related to her daughter's occupational sex-typing. The more female sex-typed the daughter's occupation, the lower her occupational status. In the same way, the father's occupational sextyping is related to his son's occupational sex-typing. While the extension of the classical status attainment models by the mother's occupation and occupational sex-typing leads to interesting and new coefficients, the authors conclude that the more elementary classical model is not invalidated by these new perspectives.KEY WORDS education x first occupation x historical trends x individual model x occupational sex-typing x path model x status attainment The European Journal of Women's Studies
