一项关于父亲从怀孕中期到产后6周转变为父母的前瞻性研究。受试者是来自希腊(雅典)的198名父亲和来自英国(布里斯托尔)的142名父亲。两个群体的社会阶层、年龄和产次分布相似。然而，每个人所经历的文化和社会结构都有很大的不同，这是一个有趣的焦点。本研究探讨了这两个群体作为父亲的两个主要主题：第一，父亲在向伴侣提供情感和实际支持以及照顾孩子方面的工具作用；第二，父亲对伴侣怀孕、孩子出生和早期为人父母的情感反应。在这两种文化中，父亲报告说，他们在支持伴侣和参与育儿方面发挥了积极的工具作用。参加分娩的英国父亲明显更多。尽管父亲参与育儿的性质不同，但他们在育儿过程中的参与程度没有总体差异。

Social class, age and parity distributions were similar between the two populations. The culture and social structure experienced by each varied widely, however, and was a focus of interest. Two major themes in fatherhood across the two populations were explored: first, the father's instrumental role in provision of emotional and practical support to his partner and care for his child; and second the father's emotional reaction to his partner's pregnancy, the birth of his child and early parenthood.

There were no overall differences in the degree to which fathers participated in childcare though the nature of this participa...
