摘要:This investigation compared two competing theories of parenting behavior, Gender Congruence Theory and Social Mediation Theory, in a sample of fathers and mothers using both role-level and domain-level measures, and scale and pie chart measures. Results provided support for both theories, but more consistently upheld the predictions of Social Mediation Theory than Gender Congruence Theory. The perceived behaviors of other fathers predicted fathers’ own behaviors at both the role and domain level. Pie chart measures did not yield significant regression models for fathers and produced models of limited utility for mothers.
