Paternal Harsh Parenting in Relation to Paternal Versus Child Characteristics: The Moderating Effect of Paternal Resemblance Belief
父亲严厉教养与父亲及儿童心理行为特点的关系：父亲与儿童类似性判断的调节作用

Based on a sample of 338 Chinese parents and their only children, paternal resemblance belief was found to attenuate the association between paternal harsh parenting and child characteristics, such as emotion dysregulation and aggression, and to strengthen the association between harsh parenting and such paternal characteristics as depressive affect and marital dissatisfaction. These findings support the evolutionary view that, as an adaptation to calm paternity doubt, paternal resemblance belief leads to improved paternal investment.
