Fatherhood in the Twenty-First Century.
Cabrera, Natasha J.; Tamis-LeMonda, Catherine S.; Bradley, Robert H.; Hofferth, Sandra; Lamb, Michael E.
Child Development, v71 n1 p127-36 Jan-Feb 2000
Discusses how social trends changed father involvement and family life, and in turn affected children's and fathers' developmental trajectories. Examines how today's children will construct expectations about fathers' and mothers' roles. Maintains that a life-span approach considers the broader sociohistorical context in which fatherhood develops. Emphasizes need to consider parents and family structure in future research.
