Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The father's response is more strongly affected by the visibility and severity of the disability. This can be attributed to societal expectations and gender roles, where fathers may feel more pressure to protect and provide for their child, and a visible or severe disability may cause them to feel a greater sense of responsibility and concern. Financial status and label of the disability may also play a role, but are not as strongly correlated with the father's response as the visibility and severity of the disability.
