Abstract

SYNOPSIS Zeifman et al. present a study of fathers’ and non-fathers’ caregiving in response to infant crying. The associations among testosterone, amount of crying, and parental status were evaluated in a laboratory paradigm using a realistic infant simulator. Although fathers did not show lower levels of testosterone, men who listened to greater amounts of crying showed significant increases in testosterone, and men who increased in testosterone had less optimal caregiving. Hormonal influences on parental behavior, which have been studied extensively in non-human animals, are now being explicated in humans. Zeifman et al. help advance this area of research.

Zeifman等人提出了一项关于父亲和非父亲对婴儿哭泣的照顾的研究。睾酮、哭泣量和父母地位之间的关系在实验室范例中使用现实婴儿模拟器进行评估。虽然父亲们的睾丸激素水平并没有降低，但听更多哭声的男性睾丸激素水平明显上升，而睾丸激素水平上升的男性则没有得到最佳的照顾。激素对亲代行为的影响，已经在非人类动物身上进行了广泛的研究，现在正在人类身上得到解释。Zeifman等人帮助推进了这一领域的研究。

期刊介绍： Parenting: Science and Practice strives to promote the exchange of empirical findings, theoretical perspectives, and methodological approaches from all disciplines that help to define and advance theory, research, and practice in parenting, caregiving, and childrearing broadly construed. "Parenting" is interpreted to include biological parents and grandparents, adoptive parents, nonparental caregivers, and others, including infrahuman parents. Articles on parenting itself, antecedents of parenting, parenting effects on parents and on children, the multiple contexts of parenting, and parenting interventions and education are all welcome. The journal brings parenting to science and science to parenting.
