项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Recent changes in the demographic composition of families and an increasingly diverse ethnic and cultural population have called for new directions in family research, specifically in the roles fathers play. What we know about fathers is mainly from two-parent families, predominantly white, using a present/absent definition of involvement, and is largely atheoretical. There is little knowledge about how minority fathers are involved with their children, how involvement evolves over time, and how fathers who do not reside with their children remain a part of their lives. There is also little information about middle-class Latinos and how variables of class and ethnicity lead to fathering practices. Studies examining the processes of Latino fatherhood, understanding the antecedents and consequences of their involvement, especially with their young children, and understanding how their cultural/ethnic/minority characteristics shape their behavior are sparse across socioeconomic status and intra-ethnic differences. This proposal includes an integrated set of analyses using data from The Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Birth Cohort (ECLS-B), the first nationally representative sample of children in the U.S. This is also the first birth cohort in the U.S. that will have a nationally representative sample of Latino families. The primary goals of this research are: (1) how do fathers' human capital and contextual characteristics (e.g., acculturation, family support, and quality of mother-father relationship) influence father engagement at 9 and 24 months? (2) What are the joint and unique contributions of fathers' human capital, contextual characteristics and father engagement to child cognition at 9 months? (3) What are the joint and unique contributions of fathers' human capital, contextual characteristics and father engagement at 9 months to child cognition at 24 months? and (4) What are the moderating influences of father's residency, partner quality of relationship and acculturation on father engagement and infants' outcomes. Multiple regression and structural equation path modeling techniques will be employed.

描述（由申请人提供）：最近家庭人口构成的变化以及日益多样化的种族和文化人口要求家庭研究的新方向，特别是父亲所扮演的角色。我们对父亲的了解主要来自双亲家庭，主要是白人，使用存在/不存在的参与定义，并且很大程度上是非理论的。人们对少数族裔父亲如何与孩子相处、参与程度如何随着时间的推移而演变，以及不与孩子住在一起的父亲如何成为他们生活的一部分知之甚少。关于中产阶级拉丁裔以及阶级和种族变量如何导致父亲行为的信息也很少。研究拉丁裔父亲的过程，了解他们参与的前因和后果，尤其是他们年幼的孩子，并了解他们的文化/种族/少数民族特征如何影响他们的行为，这些研究在社会经济地位和种族内差异方面很少。该提案包括使用早期儿童纵向研究出生队列 (ECLS-B) 数据进行的一组综合分析，这是美国第一个具有全国代表性的儿童样本。这也是美国第一个具有全国代表性的出生队列。拉丁裔家庭的代表性样本。本研究的主要目标是：（1）父亲的人力资本和背景特征（例如文化适应、家庭支持和母子关系质量）如何影响 9 个月和 24 个月时的父亲参与度？ (2) 父亲的人力资本、背景特征和父亲参与对 9 个月时儿童认知的共同和独特贡献是什么？ (3) 父亲的人力资本、背景特征和 9 个月时的父亲参与对 24 个月时的儿童认知有何共同和独特的贡献？ (4) 父亲的居住地、伴侣的关系质量和文化适应对父亲参与和婴儿的结局有何调节影响。将采用多元回归和结构方程路径建模技术。
