Timing of first fatherhood was examined in a sample of 206 at-risk, predominantly White men, followed prospectively for 17 years. An event history analysis was used to test a model wherein antisocial behavior, the contextual and familial factors that may contribute to the development of antisocial behavior, and common correlates of such behavior, including academic failure, substance use, and early initiation of sexual behaviors, lead both directly and indirectly to an early transition to fatherhood. Having a mother who was younger at first birth, low family SES, poor academic skills, failure to use condoms, and being in a cohabitating or marital relationship predicted entry into fatherhood. Implications of the findings for prevention of and intervention with early fathering are discussed.
在一个由206名主要为白人的高危男性组成的样本中，对首次成为父亲的时间进行了研究，前瞻性跟踪了17年。采用事件史分析来检验一个模型，其中反社会行为、可能导致反社会行为发展的背景和家庭因素，以及此类行为的常见相关因素，包括学业失败、物质使用和过早开始性行为，直接或间接地导致向父亲身份的早期转变。母亲初育时年龄较小、家庭社会经济地位低、学业技能差、未使用避孕套以及处于同居或婚姻关系中，这些因素可预测进入父亲角色的情况。讨论了这些研究结果对预防和干预过早成为父亲的意义。
