Coleman, Joseph . "Japanese Fathers Learn a New Role: Dad; Parenting: Long known for a hands-off approach to child care, husbands are becoming more active in rearing the kids :[Bulldog Edition]. " Los Angeles Times [Los Angeles, Calif.] 23 Aug. 1998,4. Los Angeles Times. ProQuest. Harold B. Lee Library, Provo, UT. 13 Mar. 2009 This newspaper article talks about a specific Japanese father who chose to stay home with his new baby for three months. I will use this to show how it is not impossible for Japanese fathers to change how they parent and how rewarding it is to spend as much time as possible with your children.

Crystal, David C., et al. “Psychological Maladjustment and Academic Achievement: A Cross-Cultural Study of Japanese, Chinese, and American High School Students.” Child Development. Vol. 65, No. 3 (1994): 738-753. This article talks about the different traits of high school students in these three countries. It will be helpful to establish what American and Japanese children are like as they get older based upon their family life growing up.

Diamond, Jared. “Japanese Roots.” Discover. (1998): 86-94. This article helps to understand where the Japanese people are coming from. It will be helpful because I can use it to provide information about how Japanese men father their children. It can also be helpful getting background information about the Japanese people and why they raise their children the way they do.

Easterbrooks, M. Ann, and Wendy A. Golberg. “Toddler Development in the Family: Impact of Father Involvement and Parenting Characteristics.” Child Development. Vol. 55, No. 3 (1984): 740-752. This article is dated and so it will probably work best as background information about how a father effects the child, specifically during the early years. This will help me build my argument on the United States side.

Erskine, Chris. "Man of the House by Chris Erskine; Call him Mr. October; The game's on the tube, the soup's on the stove. Life is good, fashion faux pas and all :[HOME EDITION]. " Los Angeles Times [Los Angeles, Calif.] 19 Oct. 2006,F.4. Los Angeles Times. ProQuest. Harold B. Lee Library, Provo, UT. 13 Mar. 2009 This article was written by a father and describes how his days at home can go. I will use this article to help show the difference between the role of a father and the role of a mother and why fathers are so important in a child’s life.

Hamilton, Marshall L. Father's Influence on Children. Chicago: Nelson-Hall, 1977. This article talks about the emotional and mental development of children because of how they interact with their fathers. This will help my paper have sufficient information about the importance of father involvement in a child’s life.

ISHII-KUNTZ, MASAKO. “Parental Involvement and Perception Toward Fathers’ Roles: “A Comparison Between Japan and the United States.”” Journal of Family Issues. Issue 15 (1994): 30-49. This will probably be the most helpful article because it specifically compares the two countries I am comparing. It talks about how the fathering skills differ from one country to the other.

Ishii-Kuntz U, et al. “Japanese Fathers of Preschoolers and Their Involvement in Child Care.” Journal of Marriage and Family. Vol. 66 Issue 3 (2004): 779-791. This talks specifically how Japanese fathers raise their young preschool children. This will help me establish more differences between American and Japanese fathers.

Koch, Kathy. "Fatherhood Movement." CQ Researcher 10.21 (2000): 473-496. CQ Researcher Online. CQ Press. Your library's name, city, state abbreviation. 5 Mar. 2009 . This article talks about a push for more fathers to take time and energy in the home. This will give me background information about the importance of fathers in the home.

Kochanska, Grazyna. “Emotional Development in Children with Different Attachment Histories: The First Three Years.” Child Development. Vol. 72, No. 2 (2001): 474-490. This is a good neutral article which talks about how the different ways a child is raised effect the child emotionally. This will be very helpful to use to compare the information from the Japanese and the American fathers.

Maccoby, Eleanor E. “Parenting and its Effects on Children: On Reading and Misreading Behavior Genetics.” Annual Review of Psychology. Vol. 51 (2000): 1-27. This article is about how children are affected by the different parenting styles. This will help me to write about the different parenting styles and then compare them to the fathering styles specifically in Japan and the Unites States.

Parke, Ross D. “Development in the Family.” Annual Review of Psychology. Vol. 55 (2004): 365-399. This article is more specifically about the family as a whole and how development occurs in it. This will not be very good for specific information but will probably help with overall outcomes of fathering.

Sanger, David E. "Takatsuki Journal; In Japan's Astounding Future: Life With Father." 12 Nov. 1993. 12 Mar. 2009 . This article talked about how the Japanese government is trying to encourage Japanese fathers to be more prominent in their homes. This helps me to be able to establish that there is a problem with the fathering in Japan and even their government is recognizing it.

Stevenson, Harold W. Contexts of achievement : a study of American, Chinese, and Japanese Children. Chicago: University of Chicago P for the Society for Research in Child Development, 1990. This article analyzes the young children from these three countries and how they develop emotionally and mentally. This will be a direct outcome of how the children are raised, which includes how they are affected by their fathers.

Women's International Network News. “Marriage in Japan permanent and loveless.” Women’s International Network News. Vol. 22 Issue 2 (1996): 71. This is a short article about how many marriages are pre-arranged and therefore without love. This can help me establish problems with how Japanese children are raised.
