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)
