The present study examined the association between unmarried fathers' prenatal involvement and fathers' engagement later in the child's life. The study sample consisted of 1,686 fathers from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study. Findings using multiple regressions revealed that fathers' prenatal involvement is significantly and positively associated with levels of fathers' engagement at years 1 and 3. This association was partially explained by fathers' transitions from unemployment to employment and to a greater extent by fathers' transitions from nonresidential to residential relationships with the child's mother.
本研究考察了未婚父亲的产前参与度与父亲在孩子成长后期的参与度之间的关联。研究样本包括来自“脆弱家庭与儿童福祉研究”的1686名父亲。多元回归分析结果显示,父亲的产前参与度与孩子1岁和3岁时父亲的参与水平呈显著正相关。这种关联部分可由父亲从失业到就业的转变来解释,在更大程度上则可由父亲与孩子母亲从非同居关系到同居关系的转变来解释。
