How do fathers describe bonding and the strains of early caregiving over time?
The study connects reports of paternal anger with bonding and subsequent stress in a sample of fathers.
Who was studied?
Australian fathers reporting on anger, bonding and later parenting stress
Age / stage: Infancy and later parenting
Read with three questions
- How do fathers describe bonding and the strains of early caregiving over time?
- What was measured at each observation, and what other influences might account for the link?
- Which features of the study population (australian fathers reporting on anger, bonding and later parenting stress) would matter when applying the findings in another setting?
Keep the limits in view
These data concern Australian fathers and rely on reports about anger, bonding and parenting stress. Later stress may also reflect family changes outside the measures used.
