Military Fathers' Perspectives on Involvement

Type
Summary

A description of military fathers' perspectives on involvement with their children is provided. Results around father involvement are presented using three overlapping major domains of functioning: cognitive, affective, and behavioral. While father's described many different types of involvement, one central theme was how much involvement with children was a major concern for them, despite or perhaps because of the challenges of military careers.
