ABSTRACT

The aim of this study is twofold; to answer the question of whether gender notions are predictors of father involvement, and to investigate whether involved fathers who have egalitarian notions raise more resilient children. Fathers of children aged 5–6 years (n = 377) answered questions about their gender role attitudes, their level of father involvement and their children’s resilience. The data analysis has shown weak significant associations between the dyads of egalitarian views- father involvement, father involvement-child resiliency and egalitarian views-child resiliency. Besides, a higher level of gender egalitarian view predicted a higher level of father involvement; and higher father involvement predicted a higher level of child psychological resiliency. However, including gender views in the dyad of father involvement and resilience made no significant effect. In conclusion, attitudes towards gender roles still effect fathers’ choices about being involved in their children’s lives and father involvement is an important agent supporting resilience.

摘要

这项研究的目的是双重的；回答性别观念是否是父亲参与的预测因素的问题，并调查具有平等主义观念的参与父亲是否养育了更有弹性的孩子。5-6 岁儿童的父亲（n = 377) 回答了关于他们的性别角色态度、父亲参与程度和孩子适应力的问题。数据分析表明，平等主义观点的二元组——父亲参与、父亲参与——儿童弹性和平等主义观点——儿童弹性之间存在微弱的显着关联。此外，更高水平的性别平等主义观点预示着更高水平的父亲参与；父亲参与程度越高，预示着孩子的心理弹性水平越高。然而，将性别观点纳入父亲参与和复原力的二元组中并没有产生显着影响。总之，对性别角色的态度仍然影响父亲对参与孩子生活的选择，而父亲的参与是支持复原力的重要因素。
