This study uses the multidimensional gender ideologies framework to explore the relationships between intensive parenting norms and different aspects of gender beliefs, drawing on data from the International Social Survey Programme 2022 in the Czech Republic. Using latent class analysis and multinomial logistic regression, it identifies four distinct attitudinal classes, varying by gender, education, and age. The findings indicate that intensive parenting norms are predominantly associated with the high involvement of both partners, whereas intensive mothering emphasizing the primary role of mothers is less prevalent. Furthermore, it identifies familialist and egalitarian relaxed parenting classes with lower support for intensive parenting norms. The study contributes to the literature by offering a nuanced understanding of how intensive parenting norms relate to mothers and fathers. The implications of these findings are discussed, along with suggestions for potential future research
