Effects of Paternal Involvement on Infant Preferences for Mothers and Fathers.

Lamb, Michael E.; And Others

Child Development, v54 n2 p450-58 Apr 1983

Analyses of the interaction of 45 Swedish infants with their mothers and fathers revealed that degree of paternal involvement had no effect on preferences displayed on measures of attachment and affiliative behaviors. At both eight and 16 months, infants showed clear preferences for their mothers over their fathers. (Author/RH)
