Abstract
The study presented in this paper deals with the effects of experiences with
father in the family of origin on the fathering role in the family of
procreation. The results of the studies so far point to great importance of
such experiences in parental role modelling, while recent approaches have
suggested the concept of introjected notion or an internal working model of
the fathering role as the way to operationalise the transgenerational
transfer. The study included 247 two-parent couple families whose oldest
child attended preschool education. Fathers provided information on
self-assessed involvement via the Inventory of father involvement, while both
fathers and mothers gave information on introjected experiences from the
family of origin via the inventory Presence of the father in the family of
origin. It was shown that father?s experiences from the family of origin had
significant direct effects on his involvement in child-care. Very important
experiences were those of negative emotional exchange, physical closeness and
availability of the father, as well as beliefs about the importance of the
father as a parent. Although maternal experiences from the family of origin
did not contribute significantly to father involvement, shared beliefs about
father?s importance as a parent in the parenting alliance had an effect on
greater involvement in child-care. The data provide confirmation of the
hypotheses on modelling of the fathering role, but also open the issue of the
factor of intergenerational maintenance of traditional forms of father
involvement in families in Serbia.
