Final answer:
Historically, typical father roles involve spending more time with sons, rough play, and more involvement in play than in hands-on daily child care. Taking the bottom-line responsibility for child care is not traditionally associated with father roles. In societies and countries with more egalitarian views, like the Aka of central Africa and Sweden, fathers are more involved in child care, challenging traditional norms.
Step-by-step explanation:
Considering the student's question about what Hernando, a typical dad, is unlikely to do, we can infer based on sociological research that there are certain parental behaviors that are more typically associated with fathers. One of these behaviors does not align with the traditional gender roles of fathers.
Historically, fathers have been found to:
- Spend more time with their sons than daughters, especially when sons engage in activities that are seen as gender-appropriate.
- Interact with their children in a more physical and rougher manner.
- Be heavily involved in play activities, but typically they provide less hands-on child care as compared to mothers.
However, taking bottom-line responsibility for child care is not traditionally associated with father roles, especially in societies with clear gender norms. This is because the expectation for hands-on daily child care has been culturally assigned more to mothers.
It is noteworthy that there are societies, like the Aka of central Africa, and countries like Sweden, where fathers are highly involved in child care, challenging the traditional gender norms. Yet, as per the student's question, considering a 'typical' dad, the least likely behavior would be option d) take bottom line responsibility for the childcare.
