Childlessness and Parenthood in Two Centuries (2007, background): “This development draws attention to the importance of distinguishing between biological childlessness, social childlessness (i.e., not being actively involved with one’s underage children on a daily basis), and active fathering (Eggebeen & Knoester, 2001; Skevik, 2006).”
The Effects of the Transition to Parenthood and Subsequent Children on Men’s Well-Being and Social Participation (2006, methodology): “There is some evidence that fatherhood may be positively associated with regular employment, but the frequency of fathers’ engagement activities with their children is negatively related to the number of hours they work per week (Eggebeen & Knoester, 2001).”
Psychological well-being in mid to late life: The role of generativity development and parent–child relationships across the lifespan (2006, background): “Hence, our data support Erikson’s (1963) view that parenting behavior, characterized by selfless care and concern, is just one way that adults may achieve generativity and ultimately well-being.”
Fathers at Work: A Ghost in the Organizational Machine (2012, background): “…implicit social capital renders them most likely to be able to embrace the culturally desired flexible image, are reported to show greater degrees of inflexible presenteeism and work longer hours than their peers (Eggebeen and Knoester, 2001, p. 384; Halford, 2006, p. 387; Hearn and Pringle, 2006).”
The wellbeing of childless men and fathers in mid-life (2009, background): “Several studies have included younger men (and women) who might later make the transition to parenthood in the childless category (Eggebeen and Knoester 2001; Knoester and Eggebeen 2006; Nomaguchi and Milkie 2003).”
The Role of Generativity in Psychological Well-Being: Does it Differ for Childless Adults and Parents? (2008, positive): “Indeed, Eggebeen and Knoester (2001) found that childless men had less contact and lower levels of intergenerational exchange with their extended families than did fathers.”
