“…These findings are consistent with Miller (1994), who also found that African American fathers, contrary to societal stereotypes, are involved with their children and are attempting to take on responsible roles. In a study which examined a small sample of noncustodial African American fathers, Hammer (1 996) found that these fathers placed a greater emphasis on nurturing and caregiving activities than on the role of provider or breadwinner, not unlike fathers in the Ray and Hans (2001) and Waller (1 999) studies.…”

“…In these cases, fathers pointed to the mother of their child(ren) as their obstacle to involvement, an explanation often given by fathers across different groups. A number of other studies on fathers have pointed to maternal resistance, or maternal gatekeeping, as a barrier to father involvement as well (Allen & Doherty, 1996;Fagan, 2000;Miller, 1994;NCOFF Fathers andFamilies Roundatable Series, 1995-1997;Rhein, 1997). However, few studies uncouple the different dimensions and complexities that denote maternal gatekeeping or the range of factors that contribute to it.…”

Young, low‐income, African American fathers have been at the center of research, practice, and policy on families over the past decade. This article uses a “voicing” analytic technique to examine identities among young, low‐income, African American fathers living in an urban setting; the intersections of these identities; and the fathers' perceptions of the influences of familial, peer, and legal systems as barriers and resources in their development as fathers and the sustainability of their fathering roles. The primary questions addressed urban fathers' representations of their transition to fatherhood, intergenerational relationships, transformative events, and visions of a possible self. Results from a survey, focus groups, and interviews suggest that the fathers seek to reinvent themselves and reconstruct their identities by separating from street life, redefine home as a place of stability, and challenge the practices of social and legal systems that appear to work against their responsible fathering.

“…Os resumos trazem estudos desenvolvidos principalmente com participantes negros (Allen & Doherty, 1996;Christmon, 1990a;Christmon, 1990b;Dallas & Chen, 1998;Harris, 1998;Miller, 1994). A percepção das responsabilidades da paternidade pelos pais adolescentes são enfatizadas em alguns estudos (Allen & Doherty, 1996;Christmon, 1990a;Christmon, 1990b;Nesmith, Klerman, Oh & Feinstein, 1997).…”

Paternidade na adolescência: uma breve revisão da literatura internacional

A partir de consultas exploratórias à base de dadosPsyclit, constatou-se um pequeno número de resumos de artigos sobre o tema da paternidade adolescente. Esta carência teórica e prática parece ser contraditória, em vista do grande número de reportagens veiculadas pela imprensa em relação ao aumento bombástico do núme-ro de gestações na adolescência em âmbito internacional.Questionamentos em relação a esta ausência foram levantados: por que praticamente não se estuda o pai adolescente? Que impacto a paternidade teria nas diversas esferas de sua vida? O que já havia sido escrito sobre o tema no âmbito internacional e nacional? Estes questionamentos motivaram a realização deste trabalho de revisão da literatura internacional. Este enfoque baseou-se na existência de poucos estudos realizados sobre o pai adolescente no meio acadê-mico nacional. Assim, nesse momento foi necessário recorrer à produção internacional, principalmente norte-americana, para que a elaboração deste trabalho se concretizasse.Sabe-se que pesquisas de revisão de literatura têm um grande valor científico, por fornecerem, de forma resumida, um panorama abrangente sobre um determinado tema, ressaltando tanto os temas de pesquisa mais investigados pelos pesquisadores em determinada época, como também os temas que têm recebido pouca atenção dos mesmos (Piccinini & Lopes, 1994 ResumoEste trabalho teve como objetivo revisar os artigos publicados no período de 1990 a 1999 sobre o tema da paternidade adolescente em âmbito internacional. A partir de uma consulta à base de dados Psyclit, utilizando termos descritores relacionados ao assunto, verificou-se a incidência de estudos sobre a paternidade e a maternidade em geral, e a paternidade e maternidade adolescentes. Após isso, foi feita a identificação dos resumos dos artigos que se referiam diretamente a pais adolescentes, encontrando-se apenas 68 resumos. Estes foram classificados de acordo com o tema investigado e alguns aspectos metodológicos. Constata-se a carência de estudos sobre o tema em questão, quando comparados aos estudos sobre o tema da paternidade em geral e da maternidade adolescente. Além disso, a necessidade de se investigar de forma mais aprofundada expectativas e sentimentos destes adolescentes, sua relação conjugal, com a família de origem e com o bebê. Instrumentos como testes, observação e entrevistas poderiam ser utilizados de forma mais sistemática.Palavras-chave: Paternidade adolescente, Revisão, Literatura internacional. AbstractAdolescent fatherhood: Reviewing the international literature. This paper aimed to review the international literature on adolescent fatherhood published from 1990 to 1999. The Psyclit data base was accessed using specific key words related to the theme. The incidence of studies on fatherhood, motherhood and adolescent fatherhood and motherhood was assessed. Thus, an identification of specific articles on adolescent fathers or fatherhood was carried out. Only 68 articles were found. These articles were classified according to their theme and some methodo...

“…Family traditions and values passed on by relationships with parents and other adult family figures often shape the paternal behavior and activities embraced by sons (Miller, 1994). Accordingly, a father's relationship with his parents influences his paternal engagement with children because of intergenerational learning in families (Johnson, 2001).…”

This study examined the role of ethnicity and extended family relationship in the longitudinal patterns of unmarried resident fathers' engagement with young children in the U.S. Using three waves of panel data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study (FFCWS), data obtained from 292 respondents were analyzed by the Linear Mixed Effects Regression (LMER) method. Findings suggested that Black unmarried resident fathers exhibited more engagement with their infants at age one than their White counterparts did, but the initial difference reversed by age five as a result of decreasing engagement among Black fathers over time and comparatively increasing engagement among Whites. Results also suggested that Black unmarried resident fathers with a high relationship level with their extended family members exhibited less engagement with their infants than Black fathers with a low relationship level, but the initial difference reversed by age five as a result of decreasing engagement among Black fathers with a low relationship level over time and comparatively increasing engagement among Black fathers with a high relationship level.
