		The Sociology of fatherhood is a subbranch of sociology which studies gender role in society, with particular reference to the parental role of the father.
		The recent research on fatherhood issues is clustered around three areas of focus: the symbolic representations, ideologies and cultural images of fatherhood; men's perceptions about their fatherhood identity and roles; and the ways in which resident and nonresident fathers interact with their children, and the extent of their involvement (Marsiglio, 1995a).
		Research on fatherhood has primarily considered the interaction of resident fathers with their children, and nonresident fathers' level of involvement, on the basis of frequency of contact, closeness, and financial support, and the effects of the level and type of involvement on the well-being of the children.

	Penn State'' Fatherhood"
		At the same time that a “new fatherhood” is emerging and that there is a growing appreciation for the role of fathers in the lives of children, fewer men are experiencing fatherhood.
		The negative aspects of fatherhood have also been discussed, albeit somewhat indirectly, in the transition to parenthood literature where the arrival of a baby is associated with declines in marital satisfaction, stress, and other assorted ills (Belsky and Pensky, 1988; Cowan and Cowan, 1992; Glenn, 1990).
		We hypothesize that fatherhood is associated with men’s behavior and functioning in four domains: physical and psychological health, men’s connections to communities and social networks, men’s connections to their families, and men’s involvement in work.
