dc.description.abstractThere is limited understanding about the parenting experiences of fathers and how those experiences are associated with child self-regulation. In addition, research on co parenting within two parent households have found that co-parenting dimensions, particularly supportive and undermining behavior, are affected by parent gender, as well as child age and gender. However, further research is needed to examine the extent to which agreement or disagreement in co-parenting across fathers and mothers impact additional parenting experiences. The present study aimed to examine the impact of father involvement on potential associations between parenting experiences of fathers and child self-regulation in a sample of 31 father-mother-preschooler triads. It was hypothesized that father involvement would moderate the associations and that the quality of father involvement would have a greater impact on the association between parenting experiences and child self-regulation. This study also aimed to conduct exploratory analyses comparing perceptions of parenting experiences across fathers and mothers, as well as examine the extent to which similarities or differences across parents may impact child self-regulation. Results found no associations between father parenting experiences and child self-regulation. Exploratory analyses also found no effect based on parent agreement. However, significant correlations between various parenting experiences for fathers were found. Additionally, significant correlations between various parenting experiences across fathers and mothers were found. Results suggest that parenting stress, parenting self-efficacy, dyadic adjustment, and co-parenting satisfaction have varying levels of association between fathers and mothers.en_US
