The current study explored whether fathers and mothers from 195 two-parent U.S. families engaged in a form of parenting (i.e., sensitivity, cognitive stimulation, and moderate intrusiveness) with their secondborn, 12-month-old infants during a 15-min challenging teaching task, and to determine if this type of interaction was more common among fathers. Mean comparisons showed that fathers were lower on sensitivity, positive regard, and stimulation of development, and were more detached than mothers. Latent Profile Analyses revealed similar , and parenting profile for fathers and mothers, with more fathers in the activation class. Chi-square analyses found significant associations across mothers and fathers; most infants (30%) had activation fathers and mothers, with 26% having supportive mothers and activation fathers, and 11.4% having two supportive parents. Parenting profiles were unrelated to attachment security. Results need to be replicated with children of different ages, with families from different backgrounds, and beyond the challenging teaching paradigm.
当前的研究探讨了 195 个美国家庭的父母在 15 分钟具有挑战性的教学任务中，是否对他们 12 个月大的二胎婴儿进行了某种形式的育儿方式（即敏感性、认知刺激和适度的侵入性），并确定这种互动是否在父亲中更为常见。均值比较表明，父亲在敏感性、积极关注和发展刺激方面的得分低于母亲，并且比母亲更冷漠。潜在剖面分析显示，父亲和母亲的育儿模式相似，激活类别的父亲更多。卡方分析发现母亲和父亲之间存在显著关联；大多数婴儿（30%）有激活的父亲和母亲，26%的婴儿有支持性的母亲和激活的父亲，11.4%的婴儿有两个支持性的父母。育儿模式与依恋安全性无关。结果需要在不同年龄的儿童、不同背景的家庭以及挑战性教学范式之外进行复制。
