“…For that reason, fathers' work hours could be seen as a social contextual influence, in particular as a stressor (Coyl-Shepherd & Newland, 2013;Milkie, Kendig, Nomaguchi, & Denny, 2010). On average fathers in our sample spend nearly 42 hours/week working, and over 25% of the fathers worked more than 40 hours/week in paid labor.…”

“…Although initial studies have focused mainly on the presence/absence of fathers and how much time they spent with their children, while this data is fundamental, it is critical to also capture the quality of these interactions and involvement (Brown, McBride, Shin, & Bost, 2007;Coyl-Shepherd, & Newland, 2013;Tremblay & Pierce, 2011). Father involvement should, therefore, be understood as a complex and multidimensional construct, that comprises behaviors, emotions and cognitions (Hawkins & Palkovitz, 1999), and different contexts of interaction (e.g., care or play) (Parke, 1996).…”

Early studies on fathers focused mainly on their presence in or absence from children's lives, and the amount of time they spent with them. More recently, several authors have stated the importance of understanding the quality of father involvement to comprehend fully its impact on child development. However, studies have also reported that socio-demographic variables, namely, father educational levels and employment status affect parenting and children outcomes. The aims of this study were to analyze a sample of 465 Portuguese two-parent families with pre-school age children, looking for associations between father involvement in care/socialization activities and paternal parenting styles while testing for the moderating effect of father educational levels and working hours. Fathers reported on their own parenting styles and mothers described the father's involvement. Fathers' working hours moderated the relation between his authoritative parenting style and involvement in teaching/discipline and play activities. In addition, fathers' education moderated the relation between his authoritative style and involvement in direct care and teaching/discipline. Given the different roles that fathers can assume in their children's lives, it is important to understand the mechanisms of paternal participation, and identify the factors which explain the differences in effective care so that we can promote higher positive involvement.

“…We focused on school‐age children because children reach key cognitive milestones, expand knowledge and experiences, and further acquire emotional display rules during this developmental stage (Coyl‐Shepherd & Newland, ; Parker et al, ; Underwood & Bjornstad, ). Also, fathers’ importance in facilitating children’s emotional development might be more apparent among older children given fathers’ increasing involvement as their children grow (Lamb & Tamis‐LeMonda, ; Lewis & Lamb, ; Volling, ).…”

Parental emotion socialization is a dynamic process encompassing moment-to-moment fluctuations in parents' emotional displays and responsiveness. This study attempted to examine the within-and between-individual variation in fathers' emotional expressivity during a real-time father-child interaction in Chinese families. Eighty-five children (M age = 7.58 years, SD = 0.50 years, 47.1% boys) from east China and their biological fathers participated in the study.Fathers' and children's emotional expressivity were ob-

“…Fathers usually accompany their children through active physical engagement. These experiences can promote emotional connection (Coyl-Sheperd & Newland, 2013). Many children reported that the nurturing and emotional aspects of father involvement were significant and meaningful, even aside from the tangible experience that they shared with their fathers (Goodsell & Meldrum, 2010).…”

Previous studies have shown that quality and the quantity of father involvement in education play an important rolein children’s development. The influence of father involvement in education on Chinese children's mental healthstatus still needs further study. To understand the present situation of father involvement in education and its impacton children's mental health, this study will concentrate on the impact of father involvement on the mental healthstatus of primary school students, This study surveyed 1669 primary school students in Yancheng, China. It waspointed out that 45.1% of fathers were not active in children's education, and 25.8% of fathers have not beensufficient time to accompany their children. Children's sex and grade were not associated with father involvement ineducation, which was linked to their father's occupation and education level. Father involvement dramaticallyaffected primary school students' sensitive tendency and impulsive tendency. Father involvement can make childrenmore optimistic and less focus on trifles and suspicious. More father involvement in education leads to better mentalhealth status. These results suggest the importance of increasing father involvement in education in promoting mentalhealth status in primary school students.
