Description
Summary:This study focused on understanding how fathers and mothers work together in raising their children and how mixed sexist attitudes are present among them in Barranquilla, Colombia. Researchers used a non-experimental method to find connections between variables. The study involved 340 participants (193 mothers and 147 fathers) from eleven educational institutions, using a non-random sampling approach. Participants provided responses through the Coparenting Relationship Scale (CRS) and the Ambivalent Sexism Inventory (ASI), both known for their reliability. The findings showed that fathers generally felt they were more in agreement with their partners about parenting decisions than mothers reported. There were clear differences in how men and women expressed both hostile and friendly sexist attitudes. Specifically, among mothers, a connection was found between feeling supported or undermined in parenting and benevolent sexism. However, the study didn't find strong links between overall coparenting cooperation and broader sexist attitudes. The research highlighted how important it is to study who holds power in parenting partnerships and how sexist beliefs can shape roles and decisions in the family. It stressed promoting equal sharing of parenting duties, with attention to gender differences. Future research was suggested to include cultural factors and consider children’s viewpoints to gain a fuller picture of family dynamics. The study also called for policies that encourage fair parenting practices.
