A Review of How Researchers Have Used Theory to Address Research Questions About Fathers in Three Large Data Sets

Abstract

The present article examines how the 3 national data sets in the Developing a Daddy Survey project studies have been used to address research questions regarding fathers based on various theories and theoretical frameworks. The data sets include Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study, Early Childhood Longitudinal Survey—Birth Cohort, and the Early Head Start Fathers' Study. The theoretically based studies that have been conducted using these data sets have greatly expanded our understanding of fathers in the context of their families and children's lives. Yet all large data sets have their advantages and disadvantages, and these are discussed here. Without a doubt, the pluses of using these data sets far outweigh any of the shortcomings of the data.
