  • Title: Mothers and fathers of young children: comparison of parenting styles.
    Author: Bentley KS, Fox RA.
    Journal: Psychol Rep; 1991 Aug; 69(1):320-2. PubMed ID: 1961816.
    Abstract:
    This study compared the developmental expectations and parenting behaviors of 52 mothers and fathers with children between the ages of 1 and 4 years, using the Parenting Inventory: Young Children. While both mothers and fathers were nurturing parents, mothers obtained significantly higher nurturing scores. Possible reasons for this difference were discussed. Developmental expectations and discipline strategies did not differ between mothers and fathers.
