“…Many of the studies on perceptions of parenthood focus on the perceptions of parents (Morman and Floyd 2006;Smith 2003;Summers et al 2006). Other studies focus on the expectations and effect of the transition to parenthood as perceived prior to parenthood or on the threshold of parenthood (Calvert and Stanton 1992;Delmore et al 2000;Endicott and Liossis 2005;Galambos and Krahn 2008;Harwood et al 2007;Nomaguchi and Milkie 2003;Somers 1993).…”

This study of the influence of culture on emerging adults' perception of parenthood aims to compare perceptions in a traditional, conservative society (Arab) and those in a Western-oriented modern society (Jewish). The attitudes of Arab and Jewish students in Israel were examined regarding intrinsic and extrinsic motivation for parenthood and the cost of parenthood. Participants were 276 single, nonparent students, age 20-28 years. As hypothesized, the findings revealed that Jewish emerging adults expressed higher intrinsic motivation for parenthood and lower extrinsic motivation than their Arab counterparts and mentioned a later age as the preferred time for entering parenthood than did the Arabs. However, contrary to the hypothesis, the expected cost of parenthood was found to be higher among Arab female participants than among their Jewish counterparts. The findings are discussed against intercultural differences and reciprocal influences of societies with different orientations regarding collectivist and individualistic values, in the context of parenthood motivation.

“…Fathers identify themselves as that of a role mode and provider, but also a person who exhibits love, involvement and availability to his children (Morman & Floyd, 2006). It is a role in which fathers are invested in their children (Minton & Pasley, 1996).…”

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.

“…Part II of the questionnaire in- teachers' views on parents' involvement in their classrooms. Since the questionnaire included emotional, moral, discipline, academic and nonacademic, and self-help skills that are addressed in The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and The National Association of Early Childhood Specialists in State Departments of Education (NAECS/SDE) standards for young children's learning (NAEYC and NAECS/SDE 2002) and are supported by various research studies (Morman and Floyd 2006), the questionnaire used in our study insured content validity. The multiple data sources, parents, children, and teachers, ensured triangulation.…”
