Infancy is characterized by intensive parenting which may affect later child development. However, little is known about similarities and differences in maternal and paternal parenting behaviour, as the majority of the studies have mainly focused on mothers. The present study investigated similarities and differences in mothers' and fathers' parenting behaviour during parent-infant interaction in 56 mothers and 56 fathers of 3-months-old infants in a good-resourced sample. Parent-child interactions were videotaped and coded by the Global Rating Scales. Results suggested similar parenting behaviour in terms of maternal and paternal sensitivity, intrusiveness and remoteness. Moreover, regardless of sex infant's behaviour was similar during interactions with mothers and fathers. The low-risk and non-clinical nature of our sample may have had a positive influence on mother-child and father-child dyadic exchanges. These findings suggest including family system models in research and clinical practice.
婴儿期的特点是密集的育儿方式，这可能会影响后期的儿童发展。然而，由于大多数研究主要集中在母亲身上，因此对于母亲和父亲育儿行为的相似性和差异性知之甚少。本研究在资源丰富的样本中，调查了 56 名母亲和 56 名 3 个月大婴儿的父亲在与婴儿互动期间育儿行为的相似性和差异性。通过全球评分量表对亲子互动进行录像和编码。结果表明，在敏感性、侵入性和疏远性方面，母亲和父亲的育儿行为相似。此外，无论婴儿的性别如何，在与母亲和父亲的互动中，婴儿的行为都相似。我们样本的低风险和非临床性质可能对母婴和父子二元关系交流产生了积极影响。这些发现表明，在研究和临床实践中应纳入家庭系统模型。
