      ab: Interpersonal and task motivation were related to observed paternal behavior and cognitive functioning in 4-year, old white children. Sex and social class differences were found. For all boys, motivation was an intervening variable between paternal behavior and the son s intellectual performance. In middle-class and working-class boys, fathers nurturance enhanced motivation, which in turn positively affected cognitive functioning; in lower-class boys paternal restrictiveness inhibited motivation, which, in turn hindered intellective functioning. Although father behavior affected the daughters task and interpersonal motivation, this impact did not influence their performance on intellective tasks.
