婚姻和生育行为的变化影响了许多男性的父亲角色。我们使用来自全国家庭和家庭调查的前两波数据来检查可能影响非居住父亲与其未成年子女之间接触程度的各种社会人口统计学、情境和态度特征。我们挖掘了远程育儿的两个不同维度，发现尽管有几个变量影响拜访和电话交谈或写信，但一些因素（一个家庭中有多个孩子）只预测拜访，而其他因素（孩子的年龄和性别）只预测口头/书面接触。同样，父亲们所做的一些人生决定似乎会减少他们与非住院儿童的接触，而另一些决定则会加强他们的养育行为。
Changes in marital and fertility behavior have influenced the role of father for many men. We use data from the first two waves of the National Survey of Families and Households to examine various sociodemographic, situational, and attitudinal characteristics that might influence the degree of contact between nonresidential fathers and their minor children. We tap two different dimensions of distance parenting and find that although several variables influence both visiting and talking on the telephone or writing letters, some factors (the presence of multiple children in a household) predict visiting only, while others (child's age and gender) predict only verbal/written contact. Similarly, some of the life-course decisions made by fathers appear to crowd out their involvement with nonresidential children, whereas other decisions reinforce their parenting behavior.
