When my child was born, one of the first things my mother told me was that there is a special link between the mother and child that men underestimate. She was warned me that as a father, whatever happens I will never be as close to my child as his mother would be. That was her intuition as a mother. Again when you hear the discussions about which side a child should go during a divorce, 'children goes with the mother' is a baseline, and you have to bring up severe flaws in the personality or sociability of the mother to have the father considered as a viable alternative (at least that's how it went with my relatives) Studies focusing on the parents skills and involvment in the child's life often bring seemingly obvious but still counter to the general population's concensus results.
