Title: The Methodology of Studying Fathers in Child Development Research.

Abstract: Father studies, in general, are classified into two broad groups, depending on whether the focus is primarily on (1) becoming a father or (2) being a father. This article discusses the challenges researchers face when designing studies to examine the process of being a father and the approaches that are used to meet these challenges. Studies of men's involvement with their children must decide on which men to include and not to include as fathers, the steps that must be taken to identify fathers, how to obtain fathers' cooperation, and how to measure father involvement. This article discusses each of these and how decisions are influenced why whether or not fathers who do not live with their children are included in the study. The father component of the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Birth Cohort is used to illustrate how one being a father study approached these challenges. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
