Resumen

MONTEIRO, Lígia; TORRES, Nuno  y  SALINAS-QUIROZ, Fernando. Predictors of Father's Involvement in a Sample of Portuguese families. The Role of Parenting Beliefs. Suma Psicol. [online]. 2019, vol.26, n.2, pp.94-102.  Epub 06-Abr-2020. ISSN 0121-4381.  https://doi.org/10.14349/sumapsi.2019.v26.n2.5.

The present study aimed to analyze predictors of father's involvement in day-to-day activities related to the child, from his perspective (beliefs about the role of the father), but also testing the regulatory role of the mother (maternal beliefs). Parents (e.g., education) and child's (e.g., sex) sociodemographic variables were controlled. Participants were 241 Portuguese bi-parental families (father, mother and target-child). Multiple hierarquical regression analyses showed that only for care the models reached significance, and that the predictors of father's involvement vary according to the domains analyzed. An interaction effect was found between mother's beliefs and child sex, suggesting that mothers have a role in the way fathers are involved in direct care with girls. These results foster important questions for interventions with families in order to promote father's positive involvement.

Palabras clave : Father involvement; beliefs about the father's role; gatekeeping.
