Final Remarks

Broadening the scope of father-child attachment research to include the family context

 

ABSTRACT

The associations between caregiver sensitivity and child-parent attachment tend to be weaker among fathers than among mothers. In this commentary, I argue that researchers should pay more attention to child-parent attachment relationships in the context of the family, including coparenting relationships, gatekeeping, and amount of time mothers and fathers provide care to their children.
