Stress and Fathers' Parental Competence: Implications for Family Life and Parent Educators.

McBride, Brent A.

Family Relations, v38 n4 p385-89 Oct 1989

Examined the relationship between fathers' parental stress and their perceived sense of competence in parenting roles. Regression analyses of data from 94 fathers suggest that fathers' depression in their parental role and perceptions of their children's demandingness are the best predictors of their perceived parental competence.
