Literature and research examining father involvement has focused primarily on outcomes associated with the well-being and development of children. The contextual factors associated with fathers, and how these factors shape fathers' involvement with their young children, have received limited attention in this literature. Addressing this limitation, this study focuses on the relationship between fathers' residential status, age, race and ethnicity, educational attainment, financial status and father involvement. Results of the regression models indicate that fathers who reside with their children and fathers who are older are more involved with their children. Given these findings, policymakers, practitioners, and researchers have an opportunity to create and enhance policies and programs that may assist and support fathers in their development as parents and their involvement with their children.
文献和研究主要关注父亲参与对儿童福祉和发展的影响。然而，与父亲相关的背景因素以及这些因素如何影响父亲与年幼子女的互动，在这一文献中并未得到充分关注。为了弥补这一局限性，本研究重点关注了父亲的居住状况、年龄、种族和民族、教育程度、财务状况与父亲参与度之间的关系。回归模型的结果表明，与子女同住的父亲和年龄较大的父亲更倾向于参与子女的成长过程。鉴于这些发现，政策制定者、从业者和研究人员有机会制定和加强政策和计划，以帮助和支持父亲成长为父母并参与子女的成长过程。
