Parenting styles
  Authoritarian: low warmth, high control, obedience-oriented, intrusive, restrictive, directive, punitive
  Authoritative: high warmth, high control, balances clear demands with emotional responsiveness, monitors behavior, assertive, supportive, not restrictive or punitive
  Indulgent: high warmth, low control, lenient, allows self-regulation, avoids confrontation, exerts few demands, use of reflection
  Uninvolved: low warmth, low control, little time/effort given to children, low commitment to children, stops short of pathological neglect
Child outcomes
  Authoritarian: less social competence, anxious, poor communication skills, do not take initiative, overly aggressive
  Authoritative: prosocial behaviors such as sharing, sympathy, cooperation
  Indulgent: problem behaviors, mediocre academic performance, disrespectful to others, not popular, higher self-esteem, good social skills, less depression
  Uninvolved: most poorly in academics and social competence, low self-esteem and self-regulation, cannot handle independence productively

Answer to Question 2

Mothering
  Seeking safe passage for baby
  Ensuring acceptance of baby by important others
  Psychological attachment to developing fetus and future child
  Giving of oneself
  Monitoring all aspects of child
  Preparing to be primary caregiver
  Responsivity to child
  Expectations of caring for child change over time with childs development
  Factors that interfere with nurturance: abuse, addiction, poverty, illness

Fathering
  Spend less time with children than mothers
  Influenced by maternal gatekeeping
  Tactile and physical rather than verbal and didactic
  Type of job affects availability to children
  Typically less responsibility than mothers such as child care, medical care, supervising children, planning schedules
  Stay at home fathers typically more active with children
  Roles are less culturally scripted than mothers
