Nonresidential fatherhood contributes to the fact that over 70% of African American (AA) children grow up in homes without their biological fathers. In the absence of gender-specific parental guidance, AA young men who become fathers may lack paternal-parenting preparation.
This secondary data analysis describes the verbal exchange of fatherhood perspectives among four experienced fathers and one adolescent father who participated in a pilot of group-based fatherhood intervention. Qualitative descriptive case study methodology guided by Social Learning Theory was used to explore the transmission of fathering perspectives between fathers.
Qualitative thematic analysis affirmed that adverse emotional and psychological distress may be avoided with positive parenting preparedness. Culturally-specific group-based bidirectional learning can transmit fatherhood knowledge and skills to adolescent nonresidential fathers and this new perspective can contribute to adolescent wellbeing.
There is a need to investigate channels for AA adolescent boys, young men and fathers to engage in cultural-congruent paternal modeling in the event that their biological father or other social father role models are absent from their lives.
非居住型父亲的情况导致超过70%的非裔美国（AA）儿童在没有亲生父亲的家庭中长大。在缺乏针对性别的父母指导的情况下，成为父亲的非裔美国年轻男性可能缺乏为人父的准备。
这项二次数据分析描述了四位有经验的父亲和一位青少年父亲在参与基于小组的父亲hood干预试点时，在父亲hood观点上的言语交流。采用以社会学习理论为指导的定性描述性案例研究方法，探讨父亲之间育儿观点的传递。
定性主题分析证实，积极的育儿准备可以避免不良情绪和心理困扰。基于文化的双向学习小组可以将父亲hood知识和技能传授给青少年非居住型父亲，这种新观点有助于青少年的幸福。
有必要研究非裔美国青少年男孩、年轻男性和父亲在其生活中没有亲生父亲或其他社会父亲榜样的情况下，参与符合文化的父亲榜样示范的途径。
