Abstract

In recent decades quantitative studies have documented an increase in
paternal involvement. These changes have led to hypotheses of a new
model of fatherhood. The aim of this paper is to explore the discourses of
Spanish fathers regarding paternal involvement, identifying its structure
and changing tendencies. The analysis is based on eight focus groups
conducted in Madrid and Barcelona. Among the main findings we
emphasize that the transition of fatherhood, not without contradictions, is
causing the traditional homogeneous fatherhood to evolve toward a more
complex and multidimensional conceptualization.
