Despite the strong evidence that fathers have a crucial role in child well-being, very little is known about the development of the father-child relationship from prenatal to postnatal period. In this longitudinal study, the fathers' prenatal attachment representations ( = 129), between 29 and 32 gestational weeks, were assessed with the Working Model of Child Interview, and the father-child interaction was analyzed with the Parent-Child Early Relational Assessment at 4 and 18 months after the birth. The results showed that fathers' prenatal balanced attachment representations were associated with more positive paternal behaviors compared to fathers with disengaged attachment representations when the child was 4 months old, but not when the child was 18 months old. In addition, positive changes occurred in the interaction quality between 4 and 18 months in all three groups of representation categories (balanced, disengaged, distorted), which offers an optimistic view of the evolving nature of the father-child relationship.

尽管有大量证据表明父亲在孩子的幸福中起着至关重要的作用，但对于从产前到产后期间父亲与孩子关系的发展，我们知之甚少。在这项纵向研究中，在妊娠 29 至 32 周时，使用儿童工作模型访谈评估了父亲的产前依恋表现（=129），并在孩子出生后 4 个月和 18 个月时使用亲子早期关系评估分析了父亲与孩子的互动。结果表明，与不投入依恋表现的父亲相比，具有平衡依恋表现的父亲在孩子 4 个月大时表现出更多积极的父性行为，但在孩子 18 个月大时并非如此。此外，在代表类别（平衡、不投入、扭曲）的所有三组中，4 个月至 18 个月之间的互动质量都发生了积极变化，这为不断发展的父子关系的本质提供了一个乐观的看法。（PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2021 APA，保留所有权利）。
