description | There have been reported some gender differences in diverse parenthood aspects, but still there is no consensus among the authors regarding of sensitivity's expression. Sensitivity is the ability to attend, read and respond appropriately to the child needs. As a dyadic ability, it is influenced by contextual and individual factors of the adult and child involved, and the adult's gender and nationality could be one of those. The goal was to compare father's and mother's sensitivity expression with their children of one year old, in Chile and in US. 38 dyads (19 Chileans and 19 Americans), were assessed with the Adult Sensitivity Scale. Descriptive and comparative analyses were made for gender and nationality variables. There were no significant differences by gender when comparing the whole sample, but when separated analysis where made by country, Chile showed greater differences than US, where fathers have significantly higher scores than mothers in Chile, while US mothers show a trend. The US sample showed higher sensitivity than the Chilean sample, and mothers showed greater differences than the fathers. |

Se han observado diferencias de género en distintas áreas de parentalidad, pero aún no existe consenso sobre estas diferencias en la expresión de sensibilidad. Sensibilidad es la capacidad de atender, interpretar y responder adecuadamente a las necesidades del niño. Como variable diádica, es influida por factores contextuales e individuales del adulto y niño que conforman la díada, y género y nacionalidad del adulto podrían ser algunos de ellos. El objetivo fue comparar expresión de sensibilidad de padres y madres con sus hijos de un año, en Chile y U.S.A. 38 díadas de padres y madres (19 chilenas y 19 estadounidenses) fueron evaluadas con la Escala de Sensibilidad del Adulto. Se realizaron análisis descriptivos y comparativos de las variables género y nacionalidad. No aparecen diferencias por género en muestra total, pero al compáralos intra-país, Chile presenta más diferencias que U.S.A., siendo estas significativas a favor de los padres en Chile y tendencias a favor de las madres en U.S.A. La muestra estadounidense obtuvo mayor sensibilidad que la chilena, y las madres presentaron mayores diferencias entre sí que los padres. 2017-11-15 2022-03-22T15:12:30Z 2022-03-22T15:12:30Z http://www.psicoperspectivas.cl/index.php/psicoperspectivas/article/view/950 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/80679 es <p>The author/s grant exclusive license without temporary limit for the manuscript to be published in the journal Psicoperspectivas.
