“…Mothers displayed higher mean levels of sensitivity than fathers. This finding adds to the growing research base suggesting that mothers of infants and young children tend to provide more cognitive stimulation and to display more positive affect than do fathers (Lamb, 1997;Parke, 1996;Power, 1985;Roopnarine et al, 2005). The ways in which fathers interact with young children may be qualitatively different from the ways in which mothers do so.…”

This study examined the relations among parenting behaviors of 97 coresident mothers and fathers of infants during a dyadic free-play setting. The authors examined the extent to which observed sensitive and intrusive parenting behaviors in mother-child and father-child dyads were related and how perceived marital quality may be associated with the similarity between maternal and paternal parenting behaviors. The authors found support for interdependence of parenting by mothers and fathers. High perceived marital quality was associated with interdependence of sensitive parenting behaviors in mother-infant and father-infant interactions. Negative parenting behaviors by mothers and fathers were interrelated regardless of marital quality. The findings highlight the importance of studying parenting by mothers and fathers as embedded within particular family systems.

“…Geiger (1996) refere que as mães usam com maior frequência o contacto físico, as demonstrações afetivas explícitas e a verbalização nas interações com os filhos, enquanto as interações pais-filhos revestem-se tipicamente de brincadeiras emocionantes, divertidas, robustas e fisicamente estimulantes (Clarke-Stewart, 1978;Crawley & Sherrod, 1984;Lamb, 1977). Os pais foram descritos como mais assertivos (Leaper, 2000) e menos responsivos aos desejos dos filhos (Power, 1985;Power & Parke, 1983). Na comunicação, os pais parecem ser mais diretos quando pedem algo aos filhos (e.g., dá-me o carro), enquanto as mães optam pela negociação (e.g., se comeres tudo deixo-te ver televisão), pelo afeto (e.g., querido dás a mão à mamã?)…”

O presente artigo derevisão dedica-se a comparar e a analisar a relação materna e paterna davinculação. A literatura indica que a vinculação segura é mais frequente em díadesmãe-filho do que em díades pai-filho, e que as mães em média são mais sensíveisdos que os pais. Contudo, as medidas de avaliação da sensibilidade foram, namaior dos casos, aferidas em estudos da relação mãe-filho(a). Importa,compreender as diferenças entre mães e pais num quadro mais amplo das relaçõesda família. Guiados pela literatura procuramos saber: Como se desenrola avinculação pai-filho(a)? Que papel o pai tem no jogo e nos cuidados prestados àcriança? Qual é a associação entre os comportamentos paternos e a vinculação?Em que medida o envolvimento dos pais afeta as relações familiares?

“…Indeed, qualitative differences in the two parents' microanalyses of parent-infant play revealed knowledge of, and beliefs about, the infant's that fathers are less effective than mothers in skills and capacities, the issue has received eliciting appropriate play behaviors from the scant attention in the literature. Except for studies dealing with parents of retarded chil-infants (Power, 1985). Fathers prefer physical, rough-and-tumble, and idiosyncratic nondren, whose case is obviously atypical (see stereotyped play, which requires much less Wolfensbuerger & Kurtz, 1971, for a review), "fine-tuning" to the infant's current cognitive the only study comparing mothers' and attainments.…”

The relation between fathers' involvement in the care of their infants and their attributions of cognitive-social skills to infants was investigated in this study. 160 pairs of parents of 9-month-old infants were interviewed. On the average, fathers were available to their infants 2.75 hours per weekday and spent 45-50 min interacting with them. They performed 1 caretaking activity per day, and took sole responsibility for the infant only about once in 10 days. Results indicate that fathers who are less involved in child care attribute lesser competence to infants than relatively more involved fathers, that fathers in general attribute lesser competence to infants than mothers, and that the more involved a father is in infant care, the less difference there is between his attributions and those of his wife's. These results raise the possibility that involvement in care and perception of infants as cognitively competent are mutually reinforcing.
