Separation anxiety in children was found to be less likely when the mother was more involved, provided more care and had received more care from her parents.

Joint physical activity by fathers and children was found to significantly influence children's activity levels and father's lifestyle related beliefs were found to significantly influence the health of children's diets.

A study from Korea has found that husband's support was more likely to result in warm-accepting parenting and less likely to result in rejecting-restricting parenting and consequently higher child self-esteem.
