Examined variations in mother and father involvement in 100 families
whose oldest children were between 3 and 5 years of age. Found that
mothers participated in childrearing activities at a significantly
higher rate than fathers in both single-earner and dual-earner
families. Mothers spent a high proportion of their interaction time
in functional activities. (MDM)
