The present study compares child-rearing among IVF parents (45 couples), other formerly infertile parents (35 couples) and fertile parents (35 couples) with a child between 2 and 4 years of age. Both mothers and fathers answered a questionnaire on parenting behaviour and on their child. The IVF mothers and other previously infertile mothers reported a higher emotional involvement with their child, and a greater parental competence compared to the fertile mothers. The IVF mothers rated their children more often as "social' and less often as "obstinate' than the other mothers. No significant differences were found among the fathers.
本研究比较了试管婴儿父母（45对夫妻）、其他曾不孕的父母（35对夫妻）和有2至4岁孩子的可育父母（35对夫妻）的育儿情况。母亲和父亲都回答了一份关于育儿行为和孩子的问卷。与可育母亲相比，试管婴儿母亲和其他曾不孕的母亲报告称对孩子有更高的情感投入，且育儿能力更强。与其他母亲相比，试管婴儿母亲更常将自己的孩子评为“社交型”，而较少评为“倔强型”。在父亲之间未发现显著差异。
