Problem: How can I make notes with bullet points in this paragraph? Fathers are more likely to spend more of their available time in play activities with their children than mothers are (Yeung et al., 2001). The quality of their play differs, too. Fathers' play is more physically arousing; mothers play conventional games, interact with toys, and talk more (Parke, 2013a; Parke & Cookston, 2019). Even with adolescents, fathers are more playful than mothers-joking and teasing (Shulman & Klein, 1993). Fathers might use their distinctively arousing style as a way to increase the salience of their interactions despite their more limited time with the child. Or men might just be more physical than women: Human males of all ages are more boisterous than females (Maccoby, 1998). However, physical play is not such a central part of the father-infant relationship in all cultures (Roopnarine & Jin, 2016; Schwalb et al., 2013). Fathers are not more likely than mothers to play with their children in Sweden or on Israeli kibbutzim (Haas & Hwang, 2013), and in China, Malaysia, Italy, India, and among the Aka pygmies of central Africa where neither mothers nor fathers engage in physical play with their children (Hewlett & Macfarlane, 2010; New & Benigni, 1987; Roopnarine, 2004). These cross-cultural data suggest that cultural and environmental contexts as well as biological factors shape parents' play patterns. Need Assignment Help?
