Researchers from Japan's Osaka University of Commerce and the University of Texas Austin campus had carried out a survey which 78 working couples are investigated and all the couple's children were 8 months old. The researchers asked respondents to evaluate the performance of child care from the emotional input, physical inputs and whether they take their responsibilities. The results showed that on child-rearing abilities, women got the score of 24 points from men while the women give only 21 points to men. Interestingly, despite the men got lower score, but women often boast that the child's father is excellent. According to researchers' argument, women expect their husbands to help care for their children. The reason of being given low scores is, in their view, that the way of looking after the children by their husbands is not the same as them. What's worse, their husbands often add some troubles.

Spouses' ability evaluated by male and female is different from time to time. If husband looks after the children like his wife by feeding, changing diapers and coaxing a child, his wife often said that her husband is a ...
... good parent." Researchers said: On the contrary, when the wife to do these things, the husband may take it for granted. Survey results showed that some women believe that their self-esteem would be hurt if their husbands work too hard on taking care of their children. The survey was designed to measure the two ways of respondents' self-esteem, which are self-love and sense of competence. The results showed that if women believe that their spouses have the ability to take care of their children, the longer men and children live alone, the lower score of sense of competence for women. If women believe that the spouse is weak to take care of their children, there is no effect on the length of time men and children live along and women's sense of competence.

Why the perfect father would make women's lower sense of competence? Researchers believe that women now face the pressure of consistent with community standards. In the society, the awareness of gender equality is still growing and women are encouraged to participate in work, but people still believe that women should play a major role in the upbringing of their children.
