This study of paternal involvement employed a two-pronged strategy: (a) a large sample survey of 330 first-time mothers (married) of 3- to 5-month old infants and a subsample of 110 husbands and (b) observational analyses of a subsample of 55 families engaged in triadic and dyadic interactions in their homes. Results indicated that maternal and paternal attitudinal factors derived a priori via principal component analysis accounted for significant portions of variance in five forms of paternal involvement. Maternal attitude factors remained significant despite prior entry of paternal attitudes, work involvement, birth preparation and attendance, education and marital satisfaction variables. Maternal factors predicted paternal stimulation of infants in observed dyadic and triadic situations. The results suggest a need to (a) conceptualize the father as part of the family system, (b) recognize the role of maternal attitudes in determining father involvement, and (c) utilize a two-tiered methodological strategy in the study of family development.
