We examine variation in employed fathers' time with children ages zero to 14, utilizing time use surveys from the United States (2003), Germany (2001), Norway (2000), and the United Kingdom (2000). We examine levels of father involvement and mechanisms associated involvement on both weekdays (N = 4,192) and weekends (N = 3,024). We find some evidence of "new fathers" on weekends in all countries. Fathers spend more time on interactive care and more time alone with children on weekends than on weekdays. Only Norwegian fathers, however, increase both their participation in and time spent on physical care. American and British fathers' time with children, however, is more responsive to partners' employment.
我们利用美国（2003年）、德国（2001年）、挪威（2000年）和英国（2000年）的时间使用调查，研究有工作的父亲陪伴0至14岁子女的时间差异。我们考察了工作日（N = 4192）和周末（N = 3024）父亲参与度的水平以及与参与度相关的机制。我们发现，在所有国家，周末都存在一些“新父亲”的迹象。与工作日相比，父亲们在周末花更多时间进行互动式照料，也花更多时间单独陪伴孩子。然而，只有挪威父亲增加了他们在身体照料方面的参与度和所花费的时间。不过，美国和英国父亲陪伴孩子的时间对伴侣就业情况的反应更为敏感。
