Gender differences in motivation of parenthood and attitude to parenthood

Abstract

This article represents a research on gender differences in motivation of parenthood and attitude to parenthood. Recently interest in the study of family relations has increased significantly. Researchers of various areas of scientific knowledge, both theorists, and practitioners are conducting various investigations. Until relatively recently most socialization research focused on the processes and parental child-rearing strategies. For the most part psychologists paid little attention to the parents themselves and the context in which they carried on their parenting.
