  • Title: Marital satisfaction and quality of father-child interactions: the moderating role of child gender.
    Author: Bernier A, Jarry-Boileau V, Lacharité C.
    Journal: J Genet Psychol; 2014; 175(1-2):105-17. PubMed ID: 24796158.
    Abstract:
    The authors aimed to investigate the prospective links between normative variation in fathers' marital satisfaction and the observed quality of father-toddler interactions, as well as the moderating role of child gender in these associations. Sixty-three fathers reported on their marital satisfaction when their children were 15 months of age, and were observed interacting with their child at 18 months. The results suggested that marital satisfaction was positively associated with the quality of father-son interactions, while no relations emerged among fathers of girls. These findings reiterate the importance of marital relationships for the quality of fathers' parenting, while reaffirming previous suggestions that the role of child gender in the marriage-parenting connections requires further investigation.
