This study, <a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s11199-025-01565-7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">published<\/a> in the journal Sex Roles, shows that mothers are less likely to inhibit fathers&#8217; involvement in parenting when dads take more time off work post-birth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;When fathers take longer leaves, mothers might take that as a sign that fathers are more interested in being an active parent and be less likely to try to prevent them from participating in child care,&#8221; lead author Reed Donithen, a doctoral student in developmental psychology at Ohio State, said in a news release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The study&#8217;s findings indicate that longer paternity leave helps shift traditional parenting roles and encourages a more balanced division of childcare responsibilities. This change could have widespread implications for family dynamics and child development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Maternal Gatekeeping Revisited<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The researchers used data from the <a href=\"https:\/\/u.osu.edu\/schoppesullivan\/new-parents-project\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">New Parents Project<\/a>, a long-term study led by Sarah Schoppe-Sullivan, professor of psychology at Ohio State and president of the board of the Council on Contemporary Families and study co-author. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project tracks how dual-earner couples adjust to parenthood and develop over time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mothers and fathers answered questions about &#8220;maternal gatekeeping,&#8221; which refers to the extent to which mothers either welcome or inhibit fathers&#8217; involvement in childcare, when their baby was 9 months old.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Mothers may think they are the default main parent and so they don\u2019t go out of their way to encourage dads to get more involved,&#8221; Donithen added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt is difficult to change people\u2019s attitudes, but a longer paternity leave appears to change not only how mothers respond to fathers\u2019 involvement in child care but how they view parental roles,\u201d Schoppe-Sullivan said in the news release. \u201cThat is exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Path Toward Equality<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The study controlled for multiple variables, including psychological factors of both parents and socioeconomic status, highlighting the robust nature of its findings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This research suggests that longer paternity leaves may set in motion various changes, fostering a more equitable division of childcare duties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;A lot of research on the transition to parenthood suggests that nearly all couples fall into this trap of having unequal roles \u2013 even highly educated, two-earner couples like those in our study,&#8221; Schoppe-Sullivan added. &#8220;This study suggests that a longer paternity leave may be a way out of the trap, that it may lead to a situation where fathers do have more of an equal role in parenting.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Co-authors of the study include Miranda Berrigan and Claire Kamp Dush of the University of Minnesota.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Implications for Future Policies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The findings underscore the potential for longer paternity leave policies to promote a more balanced dynamic between mothers and fathers, ultimately benefiting the whole family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Policymakers may consider these insights to encourage more inclusive parental leave policies that support both parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:7px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Source: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/news.osu.edu\/teaching-kids-how-to-become-better-citizens\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">The Ohio State University<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New research led by The Ohio State University reveals that extending paternity leave can significantly improve co-parenting dynamics, easing the burden traditionally borne by new mothers.
