Assessing for prenatal effects of fathers on offspring behavior in the open-field (OF) test. The amount of time that a father was present after conception and an interaction term of this amount of time × father’s OF behavior are entered into the regression model for the association of the father’s and offspring’s OF behavior. Male and female offspring are evaluated separately. Significant effects are noted.
