Abstract

In a series of meta-analyses, paternal sensitivity was associated with children's (age range: 7months-9years) overall cognitive functioning (N=3,193; k=23; r=.19), including language skills (k=9; r=.21), cognitive ability (k=9; r=.18), and executive function (k=8; r=.19). Paternal sensitivity was not associated with children's overall socioemotional functioning (N=2,924; k=24; r=-.03) or internalizing problems, but it was associated with children's emotion regulation (k=7; r=.22) and externalizing problems (k=19; r=-.08). In the broad cognitive functioning, executive function, broad socioemotional functioning, and externalizing problems meta-analyses, child age was a significant moderator.
