The present study aimed to analyse the association betwee...

Simão, Sofia; Diniz, Eva; Babore, Alessandra; Brandão, Tânia; Diniz, EvaThis study examines differences in perceived parental emotional availability, emotion regulation (ER), and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among adolescents, considering gender, age, and family structure. It also assesses contextual differences in ER (at home vs. at school) and investigates the mediating role of ER in the relationship between perceived parental emotional availability and HRQoL. The sampl...
What makes fathers involved? Fathers’ time, education, and cooperative coparenting
Diniz, Eva; Pais Brandão, Tânia Raquel; Verissimo, ManuelaFather involvement is considered multidetermined, being influenced by personal and family characteristics. These variables, however, are rarely examined together, leaving unclear what makes fathers involved. A multilevel dyadic approach was used to examine the relationship between fathers’ and mothers’ demographics, parenting stress, coparenting, and father involvement among dual-earner couples (n=311 dyads). F...
Father’s engagement in direct care is associated with children’s social compete...
Nóblega, Magaly; Monteiro, Lígia; Santos, Carolina; Diniz, Eva; Guimet, Marisut; Ugarte, Andrea; Marinelli, FrancescoABSTRACT: Evidence shows that fathers have an important role in child development, but few studies explore this influence in the Latin American context. This study aimed to contribute to bridge this gap by analyzing in a Peruvian urban, mainly middle socioeconomic sample, the associations between different dimensions of father engagement (i.e., interaction in direct care, teaching/discipline, and play activitie...
Mothers’ responses to children’s emotions and children’s behavior: The mediatin...
Rolo, Catarina; Diniz, Eva; Babore, Alessandra; Brandão, TâniaABSTRACT: While prior research has clearly established links between maternal responses and children’s emotion regulation (ER), the implications of these links for children’s behaviors, especially at school (as reported by their teachers), remain much less explored. This study examined the mediating role of children’s ER in the relationship between maternal reactions to both negative and positive emotions of ch...

Father involvement and maternal stress: The mediating role of coparenting
D'Orsi, Dora; Veríssimo, Manuela; Diniz, Eva: In recent years mothers have been finding themselves overwhelmed by the need to balance work and maternal duties. Father involvement in childcare has been related to a decrease in mother’s burden in childcare. This association is influenced by multiple aspects, such as the way parents share parenting perspectives and views about child rearing, i.e., coparenting. Nevertheless, the mediating role of coparenting...
Work Gains and strains on father involvement: The mediating role of parenting s...
Diniz, Eva; Monteiro, Lígia; Veríssimo, ManuelaThe balance between work and family demands is one of the main challenges of contemporary parenting. However, most of the research has focused on mothers’ perspectives, with fathers’ perspectives about the links between work–family activities and father involvement, as well as the role of indirect effects, such as parenting styles, being less explored. This study aims to bridge these gaps by exploring whether w...
