In fact, the greatest charm of the memoir is this interaction between father and daughter -- May-lee, armed with photographs and history books, encouraging her father to remember the realities behind his sanitized, child's-eye version of events.
Third, although there was clear evidence of an interaction between father involvement and reactive temperament for problem behaviours in girls, the evidence for prosocial behaviours was slightly weaker.
In this final model (shown in Table 3) a significant three-way interaction between father involvement, infant reactivity, and gender was found (β =.03, p = 0.02).
Although there was significant interaction between father's PTSD status and combat exposure in two- way ANOVA, the post hoc tests showed that, of the 43 8.7%) children whose fathers were both POWs and had PTSD, there was no significant tendency for them to score higher than the children in other groups on indices of child psychopathology, behavior and family adjustment (Tables 3 & 4).
When the models were rerun with paternal depression removed, and so with a larger sample size (n = 7256), similar, but more robust findings emerged, with a significant interaction between father involvement and infant reactivity in girls for both total behavioural problems (β = -.04; p =.01) and prosocial behaviours (β =.04; p =.01).
The authors and artists take day-to-day interactions between fathers and sons and shape the mundane not just into the mythic but into moments of pure joy.
While the right to privacy is an unquestionable one, is there research that can inform us about early interactions between fathers and newborns?
We did not have data on the interactions between fathers and infants; the quality of such interactions between fathers and infants may have affected children's risk for obesity or modified how maternal-infant interaction was related to childhood obesity.
