Maternal Employment and Development of the Father-Infant Relationship in the First Year.
Grych, John H.; Clark, Roseanne
Developmental Psychology, v35 n4 p893-903 Jul 1999
Investigated links between maternal employment, marital satisfaction, and fathers' parenting during their child's infancy. Found that fathers whose wives worked part time or less were more sensitive and responsive when more involved in caregiving; men whose wives worked full time showed more negative affect and behavior when more involved in child care. Marital quality and child temperament predicted parenting stress. (Author/KB)
