Keyword: Family Relationships

Abstract: The present systematic review and meta-analysis (k = 45 studies) found that fathers showed slightly more activation parenting than mothers (g = .25), with a strong interparental correlation (r = .32). Results suggest both parents engage in such parenting practices, challenging traditional gendered roles in early child development.
