Read the following passage then choose the best answer to each question below.
Fathers used to act as the "breadwinner" of their family, and as the teacher of moral and religious values. Today, however, those roles are gradually changing.
More and more women are going out to work and earn money. This increases the budget of the family. Apart from that, there are various social welfare programmes which financially assist mothers in supporting their children. Both these changes have greatly impacted the role of fathers because they make paternal financial support less essential for many families.
With the burden of financial support reduced, and with a changing concept of a father's role, modern fathers tend to be more involved in children's caregiving. They are now spending more time and energy on their children.
Psychological research across families from all ethnic backgrounds suggests that the influence of a father's love and attention is as great as that of a mother's. Fatherly love helps children develop a sense of their place in the world, which helps their social and emotional development. Moreover, children who receive more love from their fathers are less likely to have behavioural problems.
This trend is still increasing and its effects will become clearer and clearer in the future, especially in traditionally male-dominated societies.
The influence of a mother's love is _____ that of the father's.
