“…La evidencia respecto a los beneficios directos e indirectos de la implicación paterna en el desarrollo de los hijos, y su transferencia intergeneracional (Cooper et al, 2019) fundamentan la necesidad de contar con mejores herramientas de evaluación e intervención que apoyen y orienten a los padres en el desarrollo de prácticas parentales positivas.…”

Los cambios asociados a los roles de género en el ámbito familiar requieren de nuevas conceptualizaciones y mediciones respecto a la implicación del padre. El objetivo del estudio fue analizar las propiedades psicométricas de Father Involvement Scale (FIS). Una muestra de 401 niños y adolescentes uruguayos fue dividida al azar a los efectos de realizar un análisis factorial exploratorio (n= 201) y confirmatorio (n= 200). Los análisis exploratorios sugirieron la existencia de un único factor, que mostró excelentes índices de ajuste en el análisis factorial confirmatorio. La fiabilidad de la escala fue .95. No se encontraron diferencias en la implicación paterna según el sexo, pero sí según etapa evolutiva de los hijos, nivel educativo del padre, nivel socioeconómico de la familia, configuración familiar y convivencia o no con el padre.

“…Thus, fathers with higher parenting self-efficacy tend to be more involved in the parenting process. However, a study by Cooper et al (2019) revealed that a father's sense of competence could not moderate whether they will be involved in parenting or not. A positive attitude toward the importance of parenting is also a predictor of paternal involvement 574 (Pilkauskas & Schneider, 2020;Cooper et al, 2019;Adamsons & Pasley, 2016;McGill, 2014;Perry & Langley, 2013;Gaertner et al, 2007).…”

Father involvement is an essential aspect of the parenting process. Several studies have proven the positive influence of father involvement on children's development. Unfortunately, both research on and implementation of parenting is still dominated by mothers, creating a need for studies on father involvement in child-rearing. This literature review was compiled using three databases: Scopus, Sage, and Science Direct. The main objective of this literature review is 1) to examine predictor variables of father involvement and 2) to assess the population of studies on father involvement. Forty-nine articles were analyzed in this review. The findings of this study show that research on paternal involvement in parenting is dominated by studies examining populations from a Western cultural context. In addition, most research on father involvement is rooted in the concept proposed by Lamb et al. (1985), in which paternal involvement is viewed through three dimensions: direct interaction, accessibility, and ultimate responsibility. Father-related, or individual, factors dominate the discourse of previous research as predictor variables of paternal involvement in parenting. A broader approach is required to determine predictor variables related to father involvement due to the fact that there are many differences in the concept of family identity in non-Western cultures, especially in more communal societies. Research limitations are further explained in the article.

“…Most research on the cross-generational transmission of fathers’ parenting and involvement has relied on retrospective designs, in which fathers’ reports of the parenting they experienced as children are related to their current beliefs and behaviors. Self-report studies in the U.S. have found positive cross-generational associations, suggesting that fathers’ retrospective reports of their own fathers’ positive involvement are associated with greater involvement, more positive parenting practices, higher father-child relationship quality, and greater sense of competence (Brown et al, 2018; Cooper et al, 2019; Hofferth et al, 2012). However, a study in the U.K. found that retrospective reports of their own fathers’ parenting were not associated with fathers’ observed interactions with their 24-month-olds (Madden et al, 2015).…”

This prospective longitudinal study investigated father involvement relative to mother involvement in parent dyads across two generations from the same family. Relative parental involvement was operationalized using measures of how much parents shared parenting responsibilities and to whom their children turned preferentially in various situations. We hypothesized mean level increases towards more equal involvement for fathers and mothers across generations as well as intergenerational continuity of withinfamily patterns for both aspects of parental involvement. The longitudinal study involved 144 families and their first-born children, followed since 1982. The analyses involved the families of the 74 children who were parents themselves by age 33. Father involvement was lower than mother involvement in both generations. Results revealed mean level changes towards more equal sharing of responsibilities in the second generation, but no intergenerational changes in the likelihood that children would be more likely to turn to their fathers in various situations. There was intergenerational continuity within families in child preferences but not in the sharing of responsibilities. Together these findings imply that child preferences are related to within-family influences whereas other factors affect parents' sharing of responsibilities.
