• Does Adherence to Masculine Norms Shape Fathering Behavior (2018, background): “Identity theory suggests that identities are formed when individuals attach meaning to social statuses (e.g., man, husband, father, etc.) and their associated roles (e.g., breadwinner, caregiver, etc.; Rane & McBride, 2000).”
• Involvement Among Resident Fathers and Links to Infant Cognitive Outcomes (2008, background): “…contextual factors, including father characteristics (e.g., age, ethnicity, education, employment status), relational factors (e.g., the coparental relationship), maternal characteristics (e.g., employment status, education), and child characteristics (e.g., age, gender; Rane & McBride, 2000).”
• Fathers’ and Mothers’ Work and Family Issues as Related to Internalizing and Externalizing Behavior of Children Attending Day Care (2006, background): “Moreover, mothers’ attitudes are associated with fathers valuing the nurturing role (Rane & McBride, 2000).”
• Fathers’ Motivation for Involvement with Their Children: A Self-Determination Theory Perspective (2007, background): “A number of scholars have emphasized the need for interation of theory and empirical findings in this Held (e.g., Marsiglio et al., 2000; Rane & McBride, 2000).”
• Modeling Relations among Coparenting Quality, Autism-Specific Parenting Self-Efficacy, and Parenting Stress in Mothers and Fathers of Children with ASD (2015, background): “…coparenting quality and a raft of societal changes, such as maternal employment and family mobility, that have contributed to its practical importance (Baxter, Hewitt, & Haynes, 2008; Buckley & Schoppe-Sullivan, 2010; Cabrera, Tamis-LeMonda, Bradley, Hofferth, & Lamb, 2000; Rane & McBride, 2000).”
• Paternal Identity, Maternal Gatekeeping, and Father Involvement. (2005, background): “Because identity theory posits that a father’s identity is composed of multiple roles, this measure (for fathers) serves as a proxy for paternal identity by tapping into their perceived investment in several domains (e.g., Rane & McBride, 2000 ).”
• Mothers, Fathers, Gender Role, and Time Parents Spend with Their Children (2003, unknown): “Further, fathers who identified the nurturing role as a highly central part of their lives were more likely to participate in responsibility behaviors with their children (Rane & McBride, 2000).”
• Prison, Fathers, and Identity: A Theory of How Incarceration Affects Men’s Paternal Identity (2005, unknown): “It has since emerged as a useful framework on conceptualizing and measuring fathers’ involvement with their children (e.g., Bruce & Fox, 1999; Maurer, Pleck, & Rane, 2001; Minton & Pasley, 1996; Pasley, Futris, & Skinner, 2002; Rane & McBride, 2000).”
