Paternal influences on infant temperament: Effects of father internalizing problems, parenting-related stress, and temperament

Abstract

Temperament ratings were obtained from 98 fathers when their infants were 4 and 6 months of age to examine effects of paternal characteristics on infant temperament. Parental stress, internalizing symptoms, and father's temperament were considered as factors possibly contributing to differences in their child's temperament. © 2014 Elsevier Inc.
