我们目前的研究结果的基础上，我们最近的几项研究表明，父亲的参与有显着影响儿童的认知和语言在24和36个月，他们的社会和情感发展在24，36个月，学前班。这些研究以“父亲对儿童的影响在整个生命过程中的动态模式”为指导，该模式规定了父母特征、儿童和背景对养育子女和儿童结果的重要贡献。具体来说，三个研究问题得到解决：（1）居民父亲如何与他们的幼儿在24，36，和64个月（pre-K）？(2)父亲的人力和财力资源、抑郁症状、伴侣关系质量和母子互动以及儿童的特征如何预测父亲与幼儿的互动质量？以及（3）在三个年龄组中，父亲的参与如何影响他们年幼子女的认知、语言、社会和情感结果？受过教育的父亲和伴侣与孩子有支持关系的父亲更支持孩子，更不干涉孩子。与母亲相比，父亲的谨慎对孩子的语言，认知和语言发展以及24个月的情绪调节至关重要。另一方面，母亲的侵入性是负相关的情绪调节在24和pre-K和语言发展在pre-K父亲的侵入性有一个小的负面影响语言发展只有在pre-K和没有影响在所有的社会情绪调节。这些研究结果表明，旨在提高父亲教育水平、促进和鼓励父亲积极育儿的项目将为儿童带来巨大益处。
We present findings based on several of our recent studies that have shown that father engagement has significant effects on children's cognition and language at 24 and 36 months and their social and emotional development at 24, 36 months, and pre-Kindergarten. These studies are guided by the Dynamics of Paternal Influences on Children over the Life Course Model that stipulates the important contribution of parent characteristics, child and context to parenting and children's outcomes. Specifically, three research questions are addressed: (1) How do resident fathers engage with their young children at 24, 36, and 64 months (pre-K)? (2) How do fathers' human and financial resources and depressive symptoms, partner relationship quality and mother-child interactions, and children's characteristics predict the quality of fathers' engagements with their young children? And (3) how do fathers' engagements affect their young children's cognitive, language, and social and emotional outcomes across the three age groups? Educated fathers and fathers whose partners have supportive relationships with their children are more supportive and less intrusive. In contrast to mothers, fathers' supportiveness matters for children's language, cognitive, and language development across ages and emotional regulation at 24 months. On the other hand, maternal intrusiveness is negatively associated with emotional regulation at 24 and pre-K and language development at pre-K Father intrusiveness had a small negative effect on language development only at pre-K and no effect at all on social emotional regulation. These findings suggest that programs that aim at increasing fathers' education and that promote and encourage fathers' positive parenting will yield large benefits for children.
