Fathers in Families

The Changing Role of the Father in the Family

Herausgeber: Dette-Hagenmeyer, Dorothea; Reichle, Barbara; Erzinger, Andrea

Beschreibung

The role of the father for a family and his children has varied greatly throughout history. This book focuses on the role of the father in the contemporary two-parent heterosexual family. Of eight longitudinal studies from several Western countries, six focus on the socialization outcomes of the children, and two concentrate on parental satisfaction. The book gives a contemporary insight into the father and his role in changing family dynamics. This book was originally published as a special issue of the European Journal of Developmental Psychology.
