“…In other studies using scales that assessed only fathering status, higher salience also was associated with more engagement (e.g., Fox & Bruce, 2001;Maurer et al, 2003). Similar findings hold for status-level centrality and behaviors whether the measures are comparative or noncomparative in nature (e.g., Adamsons & Pasley, 2013;Habib & Lancaster, 2010). However, some contradictory findings are noted.…”

“…In fact, we believe that few studies have examined what seems to matter most for children: the quality of father involvement (e.g., warmth, responsiveness; Carlson, ; Pleck, ) and financial provisions (particularly for nonresident and unmarried fathers, which may include informal contributions common among unmarried fathers; Amato & Gilbreth, ). A few notable exceptions include Adamsons (; closeness), DeGarmo (; positive involvement), Fox and Bruce (; harshness), and Habib and Lancaster (, ; antenatal attachment quality).…”

Our goal was to assess the contributions of identity theory to fathering research by critically reviewing the fathering literature that incorporated concepts and assumptions from this theory to frame their efforts. Overall, research findings support the association between father identity and fathering behavior, although differences in the nuance of theoretical constructs (status vs. role) in this association are less pronounced. We identify several weaknesses in this literature (e.g., variations in conceptualization and operationalization of constructs that result in conflicting results, confusion of status and role‐level conceptualization). We end with conclusions about the continued utility of this theory in informing this body of research.

“…The prospective father also forms an emotional bond with the unborn infant, and the bond strengthens throughout pregnancy (Habib & Lancaster, ; Hjelmstedt & Widström, ; Righetti, Dell'Avanzo, Grigio, & Nicolini, ; Sjögren, Edman, Widström, Mathiesen, & Uvnäs‐Moberg, ). However, relatively few empirical studies have explored the factors affecting father's prenatal representations.…”

Marital distress, parental depression, and weak quality of parental representations are all known risk factors for parent-child relationships. However, the relation between marital distress, depressive symptoms, and parents' prenatal representation is uncertain, especially regarding fathers. The present study aimed to explore how mothers' and fathers' prenatal experience of marital distress and depressive symptoms affects the organization of their prenatal representations in late pregnancy. Participants were 153 pregnant couples from a Finnish follow-up study called "Steps to the Healthy Development and Well-being of Children" (H. Lagström et al., ). Marital distress (Revised Dyadic Adjustment Scale; D.M. Busby, C. Christensen, D. Crane, & J. Larson, 1995) and depressive symptoms (Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale) were assessed at 20 gestational weeks, and prenatal representations (Working Model of the Child Interview; D. Benoit, K.C.H. Parker, & C.H. Zeanah, 1997; C.H. Zeanah, D. Benoit, M. Barton, & L. Hirshberg, 1996) were assessed between 29 and 32 gestational weeks. The mothers' risks of distorted representations increased significantly when they had at least minor depressive symptoms. Marital distress was associated with the fathers' prenatal representations, although the association was weak; fathers within the marital distress group had less balanced representations. Coexisting marital distress and depressive symptoms were only associated with the mothers' representations; lack of marital distress and depressive symptoms increased the likelihood for mothers to have balanced representations. The results imply that marital distress and depressive symptoms are differently related to the organizations of mothers' and fathers' prenatal representations.

“…Quanto mais intenso o envolvimento emocional do pai durante o perí-odo de gestação (Habib & Lancaster, 2010) e quanto maior o apoio à mãe (Murray et al, 2012) e o envolvimento prático do pai no momento do nascimento do fi lho (Brandão & Figueiredo, 2012;Murray et al, 2012), maiores as chances do pai se envolver em atividades paternas no iní-cio da vida do seu fi lho. O relato da intenção de aborto do pai ou da mãe (não casados) também pareceu infl uenciar os comportamentos parentais durante a gravidez, diminuindo a probabilidade do pai ajudar com custos durante a gestação (Waller & Bitler, 2008 (Formoso et al, 2007).…”

ResumoUm corpo amplo de evidências científi cas já existente documenta a importância da relação pai-fi lho. O objetivo deste estudo foi desenvolver um modelo teórico de envolvimento paterno, organizado de acordo com princípios de Análise de Equações Estruturais, que requerem especifi car as variáveis associadas ao construto central, com base em dados empíricos. Em 2015, foi realizada uma busca sistemática nas bases de dados eletrônicas APA PsycNET, Bireme, PEPSIC, Web of Science e IndexPsi Periódicos, usando os descritores "envolvimento" e "paterno", cruzados com "avaliação" ou "instrumento", nos idiomas inglês e português. Não foram impostas restrições em relação ao ano de publicação. foram encontrados 39 textos completos que incluíam dados empíricos sobre o envolvimento paterno. As informações encontradas foram agrupadas em três categorias: (a) dimensões do envolvimento paterno, (b) fatores que afetam o envolvimento paterno e (c) impactos deste envolvimento sobre outras variáveis. O modelo apresentado sintetiza os resultados dos estudos e representa um avanço no desenvolvimento teórico na área. Este modelo aumenta a visibilidade de questões conceituais sobre o envolvimento paterno e seus correlatos, e, depois da sua testagem empírica, poderá contribuir para o aprimoramento de programas de intervenção para pais.

Father Involvement: Construction of a Theoretical Model Based on a Literature Review AbstractAn ample body of scientifi c evidence exists, documenting the importance of the father-child relationship. The objective of this study was to develop a theoretical model of father involvement, organized according to the principles of Structural Equation Modeling, which require specifi cation of the variables associated with the central construct, based on empirical data. In 2015, a systematic search was conducted in the databases APA PsycNET, Bireme, PEPSIC, Web of Science and IndexPsi Periódicos, using the descriptors "involvement" and "father", crossed with "measure", "scale", "tool" or "instrument", in both the English and Portuguese languages. There were no restrictions on the year of publication. In total, 39 complete texts were located, that included data on father involvement. The information in these texts was grouped into three categories: (a) dimensions of father involvement, (b) factors affecting father involvement and (c) impacts of father involvement on other variables. The model presented synthesizes
