Resumo: | The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships among three types of fathering involvement (father-child communication, fathers’ participation in caring for their child and fathers’ participation in their child’s school, cultural and leisure activities) and two aspects of a child’s development (academic performance and self-concept) among children in their first years of schooling. The participants were 97 fathers, mothers and their children, who were attending the first or second grade. To evaluate father involvement from two different perspectives, both the fathers and the mothers completed the Evaluation questionnaire about individual and family well-being and the parent-child relationship - Fathering Version. Children’s academic performance and self-concept were evaluated using the School Performance Test and the Self-Description Questionnaire I, respectively. The greater the frequency of father-child communication, of the fathers’ participation in caring for their children, and in their children’s school, cultural and leisure activities, the stronger the children’s academic performance and the more positive their self-concept. These results are indicative of the importance of fathers’ involvement and point out the need for educational interventions specifically for men. |

Este estudo teve por objetivo examinar as relações entre três formas do envolvimento paterno (a comunicação entre pai e filho; a participação do pai nos cuidados com o filho; a participação do pai nas atividades escolares, culturais e de lazer do filho) e dois aspectos do desenvolvimento infantil (autoconceito e desempenho acadêmico) de crianças que iniciam as atividades escolares. Participaram deste estudo 97 casais e seus filhos matriculados na 1ª ou 2ª série do Ensino Fundamental. Para avaliar o envolvimento paterno a partir de duas perspectivas diferentes, tanto os pais quanto as mães responderam à Avaliação do bem-estar pessoal e familiar e do relacionamento pai-filho - Versão Paterna. Para avaliar o desempenho acadêmico e o autoconceito, foram aplicados nas crianças o Teste de Desempenho Escolar e o Self-Description Questionnaire I. Observou-se que, quanto maior a frequência de comunicação entre pai e filho, a participação do pai nos cuidados com o filho e a participação do pai nas atividades escolares, culturais e de lazer do filho, maior o desempenho acadêmico e o autoconceito das crianças. Esses resultados são indicativos da importância do envolvimento paterno e apontam a necessidade de se realizarem intervenções educativas dirigidas aos homens.Núcleo de Editoração - PUC-Campinas2012-12-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/estpsi/article/view/8802Psychological Studies; Vol. 29 No. 4 (2012): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)Estudos de Psicologia; Vol. 29 Núm. 4 (2012): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)Estudos de Psicologia; v. 29 n. 4 (2012): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)1982-0275reponame:Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)instacron:PUC_CAMPporhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/estpsi/article/view/8802/6214Copyright (c) 2023 Fabiana CIA, Elizabeth Joan BARHAM, Anne Marie Germaine Victorine FONTAINEhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCIA, FabianaBARHAM, Elizabeth JoanFONTAINE, Anne Marie Germaine Victorine2024-05-02T11:40:26Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/8802Revistahttps://seer.sis.puc-campinas.edu.br/seer/index.php/estudosPRIhttps://seer.sis.puc-campinas.edu.br/seer/index.php/estudos/oaisbi.ne_estpsi@puc-campinas.edu.br||estudosdepsicologia@puc-campinas.edu.br||psychologicalstudies@puc-campinas.edu.br1982-02750103-166Xopendoar:2024-05-02T11:40:26Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false |
