Description
Summary:Objective. The present study examined similarities and differences between mothers' and fathers' attributions regarding successes and failures in caregiving situations and progressive versus authoritarian attitudes as well as correlations between mothers' and fathers' attributions and attitudes. Design. Interviews were conducted with mothers and fathers in 88 Thai families. Results. Mothers and fathers did not differ in mean levels of attributions regarding successes and failures in caregiving situations or in authoritarian or progressive attitudes. Mothers' and fathers' perceived control over failure, authoritarian attitudes, progressive attitudes, and modernity of attitudes were significantly correlated. Conclusions. This work suggests high similarities between Thai mothers and fathers in their attributions and attitudes related to parenting. © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
