“…Of those who claimed frequent attendance (nearly every week) in the FISCT, less than half reported attending on the Sunday diary day. A very similar result can be found in the Americans’ Use of Time (AUT) Study 1965–1966 (Converse and Robinson 1966/1980). Of those respondents who reported that they attend frequently, about a third did not attend on the Sunday diary day.…”

The difference between religious service attendance measured using conventional surveys and time diaries has been attributed to identity processes; a high level of religious identity importance may prompt overreporting on a survey question. This article tests the hypothesized role of identity importance as an individual determinant of overreporting and the result of socially desirable behavior. A time diary measure of attendance (from the American Time Use Study 2003-2008) is imputed for conventional survey data (from the General Social Survey 2002-2008) using the multiple imputation for multiple studies procedure (Gelman, King, and Liu 1998a). Logistic regression models predicting self-reported attendance and overreported attendance are estimated using identity importance as a key covariate and controlling for demographic variables associated with attendance. Identity importance is a strong predictor of both self-reported and overreported attendance. Attendance, while a biased measure of actual behavior, may be a good indicator of religiosity.

“…This survey is not available in 7 The micro data for the 1888-1890, 1917-1919, 1935-1936, and 1972-1973 surveys were obtained from ICPSR (ICPSR Study Numbers 7711, 8299, 8908, and 9034). 8 Since relatively few sample households were not husband and wife families the results remain unchanged when the entire sample is used. machine readable form.…”

Real income is an imperfect measure of trends in living standards. Current income numbers are deflated using a consumer price index and the many sources of bias in the consumer price index have been emphasized by the Boskin Commission (Boskin et al. 1998). Real income does not account for such goods as health that are not purchased in the marketplace, for quality changes, for revolutionary technological change, and for increases in leisure. Trends in health suggest that we may be overestimating income increases in the nineteenth century and underestimating income increases in the twentieth (Costa and Steckel 1997). Cutler et al. (1998) find that between 1983 and 1994 the price of heart attack treatments fell by 1.1 percent per year, once adjustments are made for quality, whereas a conventional price index suggests that prices were increasing. Nordhaus (1997) 132, 168, 169). After 1940, paid vacations, holidays, sick days, and personal leave increased and retirement rates continued to rise, while the average work week remained unchanged.

“…U.S. studies tracking fathers' time spent in child care rely on time‐diary data, including the American Time Use Survey (Bureau of Labor Statistics, ) and the earlier Americans' Use of Time study (Converse & Robinson, ). In 2012, all fathers (i.e., coresident and nonresident) between the ages of 25 and 59 spent an average of 20 minutes per day in physical child‐care tasks (e.g., putting child to sleep) and 12 minutes per day in developmental child‐care activities (e.g., reading to child; Sayer, ).…”

Since the last decade review of the fathering literature in 2000, scholars across numerous disciplines such as demography, family studies, medicine, nursing, law, psychology, social work, and sociology have continued to produce a steady stream of work on fathering and father–child relationships. This literature is reviewed selectively with a focus on key developments, persistent challenges, and critical directions for future research. Significant developments include greater availability of large and nationally representative datasets to study fathers; expansion and evaluation of U.S. federal policy regarding fathers; thoughtful consideration of conceptualization and measurement of fathers' parenting; growth in research on coparenting, maternal gatekeeping, and fathering; increased attention to issues of diversity in fathering; and awareness of the effects of fathering on men's development. Persistent challenges and critical new directions in fathering research include full and routine inclusion of fathers in research on parenting, improved assessment and appropriate data analysis, adherence to evidence‐based portrayals of fathers' roles in children's development, generation and use of scientific evidence to guide policy‐making, and sustained attention to diversity and fatherhood. These should be priority areas of focus as fathering research proceeds into the next decades of the 21st century.
