Resumo: Parental investment increases the chance of babies' survival and ensures parents' fitness. While adaptive, it does not occur automatically and takes various forms, according to the context. Parental beliefs are part of those contexts and this study aims to investigate how parents consider parental investment and their investment practices in their children. Fifty men and 50 women with children up to six years of age answered two open questions about their conception of investment and their practices. The answers were classified as financial investment, emotional, basic care, intellectual, social-spiritual and family-individual. Men and women indicated that they most value and practice emotional investment. In general, mothers reported more investment than fathers, especially with regard to basic care. There were some inconsistencies between reported beliefs and practices. These results may contribute to the study of beliefs and parental investment, especially in relation to fathers who are not always included in these studies.

Inversión parental aumenta las posibilidades de supervivencia de bebés y garantiza el éxito reproductivo. Aunque sea adaptativa, no ocurre automáticamente, asumiendo distintas formas según el contexto. Considerando que las creencias parentales hacen parte de ese contexto, la finalidad de este estudio fue analizar las creencias de padres y madres sobre inversión parental y lo que relatan hacer para invertir en la creación de sus hijos. Cincuenta hombres y cincuenta mujeres con niños de hasta seis años respondieron a dos preguntas abiertas acerca de sus concepciones de inversión y prácticas realizadas. Las respuestas fueron clasificadas como inversión financiera, emocional, atención básica, intelectual, social-espiritual y familiar-individual. Hombres y mujeres indicaron valorar y realizar más la inversión emocional. En general, las madres reportaron invertir más que los padres, especialmente con relación a los cuidados básicos. Hubo algunas incongruencias entre creencias y prácticas informadas. Estos resultados pueden contribuir al estudio de las creencias y de la inversión parental, principalmente de los padres, que no siempre están incluidos en estos estudios. O investimento parental aumenta a chance de sobrevivência dos bebês e garante a aptidão dos pais. Embora seja adaptativo, não ocorre automaticamente, assumindo formas diversas de acordo com o contexto. Considerando que as crenças parentais são parte desse contexto, este artigo teve como objetivo analisar crenças de pais e mães sobre investimento parental e o que relatam fazer para investir na criação de seu filho. Cinquenta homens e cinquenta mulheres com filho de até seis anos responderam a duas perguntas abertas sobre concepção de investimento e práticas realizadas. As respostas foram classificadas em: investimento financeiro, emocional, cuidados básicos, intelectual, social-espiritual e familiar-individual. Homens e mulheres indicaram valorizar e realizar mais o investimento emocional. Em geral, mães relatam investir mais que pais, principalmente em relação aos cuidados. Houve algumas incongruências entre crenças e práticas relatadas. Esses resultados podem contribuir para o estudo das crenças e do investimento parental, principalmente dos pais, que nem sempre são incluídos em pesquisas. Universidade de São Paulo.
