In a series of meta‐analyses, paternal sensitivity was associated with children’s (age range: 7 months–9 years) overall cognitive functioning ( N = 3,193; k = 23; r = .19), including language skills ( k = 9; r = .21), cognitive ability ( k = 9; r = .18), and executive function ( k = 8; r = .19). Paternal sensitivity was not associated with children’s overall socioemotional functioning ( N = 2,924; k = 24; r = −.03) or internalizing problems, but it was associated with children’s emotion regulation ( k = 7; r = .22) and externalizing problems ( k = 19; r = −.08).
