Does dad really love his daughter more? Studies have shown that dads are less distracted when they play with their daughters

We all say that our daughters are the lovers of dads in their previous lives, and Xiaobian also found that many fathers regard their daughters as little princesses and become daughter slaves. In fact, in foreign studies, it has also been found that "the father's attitude towards his daughter is obviously more positive than that of his son!" "

Dad is more attentive when he gets along with his daughter

According to research from Emory University in Atlanta, the team recruited a total of 52 groups of fathers/sons/fathers and daughters, wore small tape recorders on them, recorded their 48-hour schedule, and the device would randomly turn on every 9 minutes to record their lives and environmental sounds. As a result, the team found that the father focused on responding to his daughter for 60% more time than the son! And when playing with his daughter, the father seems to be more focused and less distracted.

The way dads spend time with "son vs daughter" is very different

And when the father gets along with his daughter, he will spend 5 times more time singing with his daughter and discussing their mood, such as: Are you happy? Do you like it? Why are you crying? Are you disappointed?

When the father is with his son, the activity is not so static, and the time to play exciting and dynamic games is 3 times that of the daughter (for example, the father plays the game of lifting with the daughter for 10 minutes; the son plays for 30 minutes). More words related to "achievement" are also used in the words used to interact with my son, such as: pride, you win, you are the best... Wait a minute.

Different treatment deepens gender differences

Although the difference in the father's behavior when accompanying the child is not malicious (or even think so much), in the environment of gender equality and diversified development, the research team believes that this obviously different treatment will affect the child's gender stereotype in the future: "Boys ignore their emotional needs, and subconsciously require themselves not to lose and not show a vulnerable side; and fathers have more sad emotional language for their daughters, which also indirectly cultivates more empathy for girls." "

In fact, whether it is more time with his son or more time with his daughter, we all believe that dad loves his child, and in the process of accompanying his child, the father's brain will also secrete "oxytocin", so that they have more and more love for their children! Parent-child relationships can also continue to rise
