A relação entre a figura paterna e o desenvolvimento infantil: uma revisão integrativa

Abstract

This study analyzed, through an integrative review following the PRISMA protocol, the emotional and social implications of paternal presence and absence in child development, emphasizing the contributions of psychology to understanding these impacts. It is a qualitative study whose results indicated that parenting styles influence both emotional understanding and socialization in children. Furthermore, it was observed that the quality of the father-child bond affects the formation of romantic attachments in adulthood. Therefore, this study provides important support for future research, ensuring the quality of the results through the adopted protocol. Moreover, it encourages reflections on the role of the father, especially given the scarcity of scientific works addressing this topic, since most studies tend to focus on and redirect attention to the mother. Thus, it is believed that this work can contribute to the father’s ability to fully and actively participate in his role.
