Abstract(s)
O presente estudo visou analisar preditores do envolvimento paterno em atividades do
dia-a-dia relacionadas com a criança, considerando a perspetiva do pai (crenças sobre o papel
do pai) e testando o possível papel regulador da mãe (via crenças maternas). Foram controladas
variáveis sociodemográficas dos cuidadores (e.g., habilitações) e da criança (e.g., sexo). Participaram
no estudo 241 famílias nucleares (pai, mãe e criança-alvo). Análises de regressão múltipla
hierárquica indicam que apenas os modelos relativos aos cuidados são significativos, e que os
preditores são distintos consoante os domínios analisados. Obteve-se, ainda, um efeito de interação
entre as crenças maternas e o sexo da criança, indicando o potencial papel regulatório da
mãe no modo como os pais estão envolvidos nos cuidados diretos às raparigas. Estes resultados
colocam questões importantes para o trabalho com as famílias no sentido de promover um
maior envolvimento positivo do pai.
Abstract The present study aimed to analyze predictors of father’s involvement in day-to-day activities related to the child, from his perspective (beliefs about the role of the father), but also testing the regulatory role of the mother (maternal beliefs). Parents (e.g., education) and child’s (e.g., sex) sociodemographic variables were controlled. Participants were 241 Portuguese bi-parental families (father, mother and target-child). Multiple hierarquical regression analyses showed that only for care the models reached significance, and that the predictors of father’s involvement vary according to the domains analyzed. An interaction effect was found between mother’s beliefs and child sex, suggesting that mothers have a role in the way fathers are involved in direct care with girls. These results foster important questions for interventions with families in order to promote father’s positive involvement.
