Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of Chicago, 2005.

The father involvement field and its findings are fractured and disconnected. Few works explore fathering for both married and unmarried men. In addition, analyses tend to focus on either predictors or effects of involvement, not both. This dissertation attempts to address these and other concerns within the father involvement literature. In this study, I use the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study, a dataset that samples urban American, martial and nonmarital births in the late 1990s. This data allows for direct comparison among married, unmarried and cohabiting and unmarried, nonresidential fathers, and also collects information about fathers directly from the men themselves.

520 $a The father involvement field and its findings are fractured and disconnected. Few works explore fathering for both married and unmarried men. In addition, analyses tend to focus on either predictors or effects of involvement, not both. This dissertation attempts to address these and other concerns within the father involvement literature. In this study, I use the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study, a dataset that samples urban American, martial and nonmarital births in the late 1990s. This data allows for direct comparison among married, unmarried and cohabiting and unmarried, nonresidential fathers, and also collects information about fathers directly from the men themselves.
520 $a This study begins by analyzing how men combine or substitute various areas of parenting to create holistic fathering styles. I find that married and cohabiting fathers parent the same, but that nonresidential fathers look different. Men who do not live with their children are likely to either interact directly with their children while providing in-kind support, or use more formal channels of child support while avoiding day-to-day parenting. Predictors of father-child play and child care show that few characteristics are associated with higher levels of involvement in both areas, suggesting that men are unlikely to be "super dads." Conviction status depresses both play and care, while other characteristics are only associated with one aspect. This dissertation also analyzes predictors of nonresident parenting aspects, including legal paternity, in-kind and formal child support. Results suggest that personality characteristics do not drive involvement; stereotypes of lazy, deadbeat dads were not upheld. Couples with formal support orders were much more likely to have poor relationships or collect TANF. Finally, father involvement was not shown to be consistently associated with better toddler cognitive or behavioral outcomes.
520 $a This study has several important conclusions. Marriage may be less important for family structure than previously thought. Unmarried families treat formal child support differently than divorced; it is associated with unfriendly co-parenting and low levels of father involvement. Researchers should exercise caution when applying divorced family norms to unmarried families. Finally, we need to better pinpoint when and how fathers matter to children.
