From a traditional viewpoint, fathers are seen as the main disciplinarian in the family. However, recent studies suggest that these traditional family role patterns may have changed. In this study, we observed discipline strategies of mothers and fathers toward their sons and daughters.
Fathers have become increasingly involved in parenting; however, research suggests that mothers may now be primarily responsible for child discipline. Discipline strategies were observed in two-parent, two-child households in the Netherlands.
Background: Neglect has been linked to short-term and long-term deleterious outcomes in children, but has received little attention in the research literature. Objective: Identify types, subtypes, and severity of child neglect in a sample of substantiated cases at 4 U.S. Army installations.
An investigation around the types, subtypes, and severity of child neglect among a sample of substantiated cases at four U. S. Army installations was conducted. Descriptions of demographic correlates of victims and offenders by type and subtype were provided.
We conducted semi-structured focus groups with men in the United States Air Force (N = 39) to examine fathers' access to parenting information during the transition to parenthood, and to determine methods for engaging fathers in intervention.
Fathers' access to parenting information during the transition to parenthood and how best to engage fathers in parenting intervention programs were explored.
In a longitudinal study with 125 early adopted adolescents, we examined continuity of attachment from infancy to adolescence and the role of parental sensitive support in explaining continuity or discontinuity of attachment.
Secure attachment is important for parent-child relationships and children's development. To better understand the continuity of attachment, researchers followed 125 early adopted adolescents from one to 14 years old.
