There is little literature that has explored the paternal role among children with intellectual disabilities. The aim of the study is to characterise parental attitudes and styles of fathers of children with intellectual disabilities, and to analyse their relation to the children's adaptive behaviour.
Eighty-three families (fathers and mothers) answered self-report questionnaires, which assessed parenting styles and attitudes, as well as an adaptive behaviour questionnaire about their children with intellectual disabilities between 4 and 18 years of age.
Both parents have a tendency towards an authoritative style of parenting. Fathers (versus mothers) perceive greater parental support but are less involved in their children's lives. Among fathers, the authoritative style was a significant contributor to the child's adaptive behaviour, above and beyond the mother's contribution.
Studies about parenting should include both mothers and fathers, as paternal parenting styles and attitudes are related to children's adaptive behaviour.
鲜有文献探讨智障儿童的父亲角色。本研究旨在描述智障儿童父亲的父母态度和风格，并分析其与孩子适应行为的关系。
83 个家庭（父亲和母亲）回答了自我报告问卷，该问卷评估了他们的教养风格和态度，以及他们 4 至 18 岁智障儿童的适应行为问卷。
父母双方都倾向于采用权威型的教养方式。与母亲相比，父亲（相对于母亲）感知到更多的父母支持，但对孩子的生活参与度较低。在父亲中，权威型教养方式是孩子适应行为的重要贡献因素，超出了母亲的贡献。
关于育儿的研究应该同时包括母亲和父亲，因为父亲的育儿风格和态度与孩子的适应行为有关。
