Conditions Affecting the Association between Father Identity and Father Involvement

چکیده
To better understand the conditions under which fathers are more or less involved with their children, we tested the moderating influences of interparental relationships on the association between identity and behavior in a sample of 186 married and 93 divorced fathers. Results showed that identity investment and satisfaction were positively associated with involvement in childrelated activities, but identity salience was not. Also, the relationship between satisfaction and involvement was stronger when there was less cooperation and less indirect conflict, and the relationship between investment and involvement was stronger when there was less cooperation. These moderating effects were stronger for divorced fathers.
