在性别革命的背景下，当代父亲的规范强调男子除了作为经济提供者的传统角色之外，还应参与子女的事务。这些“新爸爸”被期望在养育子女、养育子女以及进行互动和身体锻炼方面成为更平等的伙伴。然而，提供者和参与其中的父亲的角色可能会发生冲突：“新父亲”角色需要花时间陪伴孩子，而“提供者”角色需要致力于在工作上花时间。使用两波的儿童发展补充收入动态的小组研究（N = 1,139），本研究探讨了就业和父亲参与之间的关系，以及是否父亲的态度缓和这种关系。结果表明，工作时间与父亲的参与没有很大关系。尽管工作时间普遍较长，但有一部分“新爸爸”似乎能够更好地保留与孩子在一起的时间，可能是通过减少闲暇时间或将孩子纳入闲暇时间。
In the context of the gender revolution, contemporary norms of fatherhood emphasize men’s involvement with their children in addition to their traditional role as financial provider. These “new fathers” are expected to be more equal partners in parenting, nurturing children, and performing both interactive and physical caregiving. However, the roles of provider and involved father may conflict: Whereas the “new father” role requires spending time with children, the “provider” role requires commitment to spending time on the job. Using two waves of the Child Development Supplement to the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (N = 1,139), this study examines the relationship between employment and father involvement and whether fathering attitudes moderate that relationship. Results suggest work hours are not strongly related to father involvement. Despite generally long work hours, a subgroup of “new fathers” appear better able to preserve time with children, likely by cutting back on, or incorporating their children into, their leisure time.
