Xinman Dou’s study perceived family functioning and depression in bereaved parents 18 months after the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, which are important issues for many post-disaster recovery programs. The study pointed out the gender, age, being divorced or widowed, being directly exposed to the death of their kids, not having a new baby and disoriented family functioning are significant causes of severe depression. The study used the multistage stratified sampling method to choose bereaved families from the randomly sampled cities and villages. Participants are voluntary, and those who were deaf, blind or with cognitive impairment are excluded from the sample. 17 bereaved fathers and 10 bereaved mothers refused to participate, and 6 bereaved

N operated the study about the relationship between father involvement and children’s problematic behavior. It stated that children’s behavior can predict the change of father involvement, but father involvement is not the causes of children’s behavioral changes. The study focused on father involvement and child problematic behavior at three, five and seven years old. Family socioeconomic status, father and mother’s mood, the relationship between mother and father, the number of siblings, ethnicity and gender are all included under consideration. Father involvement was measured with questionnaires for fathers, and the questionnaires are different for the three age groups. Child problematic behavior was measured with questionnaires reported by biological mothers. Nevertheless, sample bias still existed. The parents in the sample were more involved with their children, had higher socioeconomic status, but the parents with lower socioeconomic status were not fully represented in the sample. In this study, the correlations between father involvement and child problematic behavior were significantly negative but weak. Generally, there is little evidence to support the role of father involvement in child behavior. The problematic child behaviors at age 3 like hyperactivity and conduct problem lead to higher level of father involvement at age 5, but not vice versa. And it only happens in early childhood. This study did not account for the role of father involvement at an older age, so we cannot examine the dynamic relationship between father involvement and the change of children
