虽然大量的研究已经审查了父亲的参与和儿童的结果之间的关联，大多数是基于一个单一的数据来源的数据或未能控制母亲的参与。我们使用来自全国家庭和住户调查（n = 994）的数据来检验父亲积极参与与儿童行为问题较少相关的假设。为了避免相同来源的偏见，我们使用了父亲对孩子的参与和母亲对孩子行为问题的报告。为了确定父亲是否对孩子的行为做出了独特的贡献，我们控制了母亲关于母亲参与的报告。结构方程模型显示，积极的父亲和母亲的参与是独立的，显着与儿童的行为问题。对于生父、继父、白色父亲、黑人父亲和拉丁裔父亲，估计的影响相似。
Although a large number of studies have examined associations between paternal involvement and children's outcomes, most are based on a single source of data data or fail to control for maternal involvement. We used data from the National Survey of Families and Households (n = 994) to test the hypothesis that positive father involvement is associated with fewer behavior problems in children. To avoid same-source bias, we used fathers' reports of involvement with children and mothers' reports of children's behavior problems. To determine if fathers make a unique contribution to their children's behavior we controlled for mothers' reports of maternal involvement. Structural equation models revealed that positive paternal and maternal involvement were independently and significantly associated with children's behavior problems. Estimated effects were similar for biological fathers, stepfathers, White fathers, Black fathers, and Latino fathers.
