“…There were no differences in terms of socioeconomic status or the ages and gender of the children, parent age, amount of child support owed, or length of marriage. These findings are consistent with the suggestion that the sample of fathers who participate in family research may be biased in favor of men who are more invested in their fathering role (Boyd, 1985).…”

The representativeness of fathers who participate in family research was examined among 661 families. Approximately two thirds of eligible fathers participated. Mothers' and observers' reports on families of participating and non-participating fathers were compared. Participating fathers underrepresented fathers with less education, later-born children, more ambivalent marriages, partners with more traditional child-rearing beliefs, families with less optimal parenting environments, and infants who were unplanned, had more difficult temperaments, and were less healthy. Also underrepresented were ethnic minority families and working-class fathers. However, no differences were found in regard to child gender, family income, mothers' psychosocial functioning, either parent's employment experiences, or child-care arrangements. Implications for the generalizability of findings and the recruitment of fathers are discussed.

“…Still, we note that prior research studying divorcing couples, albeit not based on Internet recruiting, found that men who participate "are more invested in their fathering role" (Costigan and Cox (2001) citing Boyd (1985); for a quantitative perspective, see "Assessing and compensating for self-selection bias (non-representativeness) of the family research sample," Braver and Bay (1992)). Applying this observation to our study suggests that those with more extreme experiences -both positive and…”

“…Twenty years later, Boyd (1985) wrote that until the 1970s researchers had emphasized the maternal role and overlooked the paternal role in family studies. Greif and Bailey (1990) concluded recently in a review of the literature that social work researchers have not adequately addressed fathers; they also asserted that fathers have been portrayed in a negative light.…”

Using the accounts of family life in young women's life stories, this qualitative study examined experiences with biological fathers for a sample of inner-city African-American teen mothers and a comparable sample of young women who were not parents. Distinguishing findings emerged about the pattern of young women's residential history with fathers, activity and interactions with fathers, and feelings about fathers. These qualitative findings were discussed in terms of their implications for services, policy, and research.
