Examining the diversity of interpersonal dynamics within family systems by contrasting those dynamics in dyadic and triadic contexts provides impetus for expanding research on systemic influences on relationship development in early childhood. The collective impact of these papers spanning 7 country-cultures illustrates that paternal and maternal relationship dynamics are impacted by family composition as well as cultural context. Expanding context to include sex differences in parent-child relationship development as well as inclusion of samples from low to middle income countries will expand our understanding of paternal care beyond the confines of Western cultures.
