亲职自我效能感是高质量亲职行为的关键决定因素，但这方面的亲职认知一直研究不足的父亲。本研究以182位双职工家庭头胎婴儿父亲为研究对象，探讨了父亲的教养史、人格特征、家庭关系与其产后早期养育自我效能感的关系。准父亲完成调查，评估他们的养育历史，个性和个人特征，在怀孕的第三个月，并报告他们的看法coparenting和养育自我效能在产后三个月。分层回归分析的结果表明，当新父亲有更大的依恋焦虑和神经质，认为母亲天生是更好的照顾者，并计划使用自己的父亲作为模型的育儿自我效能感较低的风险。与此相反，当新父亲更积极地感知他们与孩子母亲的共育关系时，他们有更大的育儿自我效能感。这些研究结果告知理论父亲的育儿认知和行为和实践的发展与准爸爸和新的父亲，如果复制在一个更大的，更具代表性的样本，可用于确定准爸爸在风险低养育自我效能和政策措施的设计，以加强父子关系。
Parenting self-efficacy is a critical determinant of high-quality parenting behavior, but this aspect of parenting cognitions has been understudied for fathers. Longitudinal data from a sample of 182 fathers of firstborn infants in dual-earner families were used to assess how expectant fathers’ rearing history, personality and personal characteristics, and family relationships were associated with their initial levels of parenting self-efficacy in the early post-partum period. Expectant fathers completed surveys assessing their rearing history, personality, and personal characteristics during the third trimester of pregnancy and reported on their perceptions of coparenting and parenting self-efficacy at three months post-partum. Results of hierarchical regression analyses showed that new fathers were at risk for lower parenting self-efficacy when they had greater attachment anxiety and neuroticism, believed that mothers are inherently better caretakers, and planned to use their own fathers as models for childrearing. In contrast, new fathers had greater parenting self-efficacy when they perceived their coparenting relationships with children’s mothers more positively. These findings inform theory about the development of fathers’ parenting cognitions and behavior and practice with expectant and new fathers, and, if replicated in a larger, more representative sample, may be used to identify expectant fathers at risk for low parenting self-efficacy and in the design of policy initiatives to enhance father-child relationships.
