The Evolution of Fathering Research in the 21st Century: Persistent Challenges, New Directions (2020, background): “Pleck (2010, 2012) offered a compelling argument that fathers are very important to children’s development, but not essential, given that many children experience positive development without the involvement of a father or father figure.”
The Effects of Maternal and Paternal Helicopter Parenting on the Self-determination and Well-being of Emerging Adults (2019, background): “Research on parenting in general has found that mothers and fathers parent their children differently and that mothers are more involved than fathers in their children’s lives (Cui et al. 2016; Day and Padilla-Walker 2009; Kim and Hill 2015; Marsiglio et al. 2000; Pleck 2012).”
Does Adherence to Masculine Norms Shape Fathering Behavior (2018, background): “The Current Study Although many American fathers have embraced the new fatherhood ideal (Bianchi et al., 2006), substantial variability in father involvement remains (Pleck, 2012).”
