Description

Conservative protestant men represent 25% of men with children in the U.S., making them the largest contingent of American fathers (Wilcox, 2004). This study builds on a current body of literature regarding the ways conservative Protestant ideology and theology about maleness impact the parenting behavior of men. We will randomly sample 1,000 conservative protestant men across the country and administer 3 measures, namely, the Religious Fundamentalism Scale (RF), Paternal Involvement and Style Measure, and a Gender Traditionalism Index to better understand how these men enact their roles as fathers.
