本研究以97个有婴幼儿的家庭为研究对象，探讨了母亲的把关行为与父亲的相对参与和能力之间的关系。父母对父亲角色的信念在婴儿出生前进行了评估。在产后3.5个月评估父母对母亲守门行为（鼓励和批评）和共亲关系质量的看法。作者评估了父亲的相对参与和能力，在儿童保育使用家长报告和观察措施相结合。结果表明，即使在占父母的信念父亲的角色和整体质量的共同养育关系，更大的母亲的鼓励与较高的父母报告的相对父亲参与。此外，母亲的鼓励介导的coparenting质量和报告的相对父亲参与之间的关联。至于父亲的观察行为，父亲的信念和父母的共同养育关系质量的看法是相关的，只有当母亲从事低水平的批评和高水平的鼓励，分别。这些发现与母亲可能通过其“守门人”角色影响父亲参与的观点一致。"
The present study examined the role of maternal gatekeeping behavior in relation to fathers' relative involvement and competence in child care in 97 families with infant children. Parents' beliefs about fathers' roles were assessed prior to their infant's birth. Parents' perceptions of maternal gatekeeping behavior (encouragement and criticism) and coparenting relationship quality were assessed at 3.5 months postpartum. The authors assessed fathers' relative involvement and competence in child care using a combination of parent report and observational measures. Results suggest that even after accounting for parents' beliefs about the paternal role and the overall quality of the coparenting relationship, greater maternal encouragement was associated with higher parent-reported relative father involvement. Moreover, maternal encouragement mediated the association between coparenting quality and reported relative father involvement. With respect to fathers' observed behavior, fathers' beliefs and parents' perceptions of coparenting relationship quality were relevant only when mothers engaged in low levels of criticism and high levels of encouragement, respectively. These findings are consistent with the notion that mothers may shape father involvement through their roles as "gatekeepers."
