Abstract

Main purpose of the present investigation is to explore cultural perspectives on different aspects of fatherhood. In this study, we analyze perspectives of different cultures on fatherhood by focusing mainly on mythologies, and religious perspectives. Findings suggest that provision, protection, formation (formation of the child's character), and endowment (giving legal status to a child) functions seem to be viewed as primary functions of fatherhood across cultures. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
