“…There seems little need in Juanita's day for coercive engagement. Her comfort in her environment reflects these relationships with her caregivers, perhaps reflecting a 'new fatherhood' in Peru as well (Dearden et al, 2013), perhaps a 'generative fathering' (Taylor & Behnke, 2005), as in Italy and the other locations we have observed in our study -namely, Turkey, and the USA.…”

“…Researchers (e.g., Daly 1995;Taylor and Behnke 2005) found that in the United States most fathers had gender progressive attitudes. In Daly's (1995) study, the majority of the Mexican American men maintained a gender progressive ideology.…”

“…In addition, this oversight provided little information about the way Mexican American men responded to transformations in the conventional gender roles and perceptions of masculinity. In examining the impact of cultural values in relation to gender roles on the fathers' role identity, Taylor and Behnke (2005) found that Mexican American fathers assumed two gender roles within their families' lives: gender essentialism and gender progressive attitudes. Gender essentialism attitudes are when both males and females performed their exclusive roles, such as in the traditional Mexican American father role as head of the household.…”

This critical review presents studies of Mexican American fathers in the United Sates to provide researchers with an understanding of contemporary fatherhood. It describes the myths that cause methodological and conceptual problems in interpreting the results of studies on Mexican American fathers. Several common challenges and limitations in those studies are identified and discussed, such as conflicting cultural perceptions, traditional and contemporary perceptions, and social stereotyping of the Mexican American fathers' family roles. This review also provides guidelines for future research and practical applications on Mexican American fathers' involvement in their children's education. In doing this, it contributes to an emerging understanding of the complexity of Mexican American fathering.

“…Important among these are the provision of physical care (bathing, meal preparation, diaper changing, and feeding) and providing warmth (Bronte-Tinkew, Carrano, & Guzman, 2006). Progressive fathers also perceive their role to be one of collaboration and guidance, in addition to being the provider and setting good examples (Taylor & Behnke, 2005). It is also suggested that many other paternal behaviors similar to those listed results in optimal well-being for these children (Adamsons, O'Brien, & Pasley, 2007).…”

The current study examined the statistical relations between father's and mother's involvement and mental health. In addition, the study explored which parent's involvement was more strongly correlated with mental health. The impact of parental involvement (i.e., warmth, care, affection and overprotection) on global depression and depressive mood and ideation were of particular importance. Another goal of the study was to use an African American adult child sample to extend the research literature and knowledge about African American parenting and to gauge their involvement from a protective rather than risk perspective. The last goal of the study was to determine through hierarchical regression analysis the unique contribution of each parent's involvement to the participant's mental health. The sample included 236 African American participants from a regionally accredited Historically Black College and University (HBCU) in Southwest Georgia. Correlation and regression analyses revealed that father's and mother's involvement were related to global depression and depressive mood and ideation. Specifically, father's and mother's care was related to lower levels of depression but, father's and mother's overprotection was related to higher levels of depression. Additional results revealed that ratings of mother's involvement was usually stronger than ratings of father's involvement. Findings from this study, however, points to the importance of African American fathers in the development of their children.
