Patterns of Nonresident-Father Involvement In: Social Awakening: Adolescent Behavior as Adulthood Approaches. R.T. Michael, ed. New York, NY: Russell Sage Foundation, 2001: pp. 49-78 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Russell Sage Foundation Keyword(s): Child Support; Fathers and Children; Fathers, Absence; Fathers, Influence Chapter: To examine nonresident-father involvement, this study analyzed a cohort of adolescent youth from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, 1997 Cohort. A sample of adolescents (aged 12-16 yrs) who did not live full-time with their fathers were extracted. First, the father-involvement measures for youths whose fathers were absent because they either divorced, separated, or never married the child's mother were compared, and the determinants of these father-child involvement measures were examined. The specific measures of involvement that were focused on include the amount of contact, level of child support, and quality of father-child and mother-father interaction. Second, the data were used to classify the children in nonmarital families into groups based on type of paternity establishment (i.e., voluntary acknowledgement, involuntary acknowledgement, and no acknowledgement) and show how different measures of father involvement vary by type of paternity establishment. The findings were generally consistent with those of studies using other data. However, lower levels of father-child contact were found. Adolescents whose paternity was established received more child support and experienced more father-child contact. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2000 APA, all rights reserved) |
