Fathering. 2011 Winter;9(1). doi: 10.3149/fth.0901.44.
The current study investigated how fathering behaviors (acceptance, rejection, monitoring, consistent discipline, and involvement) are related to preadolescent adjustment in Mexican American and European American stepfamilies and intact families. Cross-sectional data from 393 7 graders, their schoolteachers, and parents were used to examine links between different dimensions of fathering and adolescent outcomes. Following an ecological multivariate model, family SES, marital satisfaction, and mothers' parenting were included as controls. In all contexts, fathering had significant effects on adolescent adjustment. Both mothers' parenting and adolescent gender moderated the associations, and we uncovered some provocative nonlinear relations between fathering and adolescent outcomes. The importance of ethnicity and family structure in studies of fathering are highlighted.
本研究调查了在墨西哥裔美国家庭和欧裔美国家庭以及完整家庭中，父亲行为（接纳、拒绝、监督、一致的纪律约束和参与）与青春期前儿童适应情况之间的关系。来自393名七年级学生、他们的学校教师和家长的横断面数据，被用于检验父亲行为的不同维度与青少年成长结果之间的联系。遵循生态多元模型，将家庭社会经济地位、婚姻满意度和母亲的养育方式作为控制变量纳入研究。在所有情境中，父亲行为对青少年适应情况均有显著影响。母亲的养育方式和青少年性别都调节了这种关联，并且我们发现了一些父亲行为与青少年成长结果之间引人深思的非线性关系。研究凸显了种族和家庭结构在父亲行为研究中的重要性。
