Fathers' Participation in the Care of their Preschool Children.

Baruch, Grace K.; Barnett, Rosalind C.

Sex Roles: A Journal of Research, v7 n10 p1043-55 Oct 1981

Fathers' independent performance of child-care tasks was: (1) positively related to maternal work role and nontraditional sex role ideology; and (2) negatively related to daughters' stereotyping and to fathers' perceptions of themselves as stereotypically masculine. Wives' role-pattern satisfaction was negatively related to both joint and independent participation. (Author/GC)
