Abstract
COVID-19 impacted parenting and children’s behavior problems. This study found that higher father involvement significantly decreased maternal stress, which in turn predicted lower internalizing and externalizing problems only in adolescent boys, but not for younger children or girls. This highlights age- and gender-specific impacts of father involvement during COVID-19.
