Dear At-home-dad users,

I hope everyone is doing great! I am recruiting participants for a new study on stay-at-home fathers and wanted to ask for your help! Basically, this study has 3 primary goals.
1) Evaluating the relationship between different reasons for becoming a stay-at-home father and adjustment.
2) Assessing plans and perceptions toward re-entering the workforce
3) Addressing how different factors relate to the occurrence & perceptions of negative reactions from others.

To my knowledge this will be the first study addressing these questions. As I did with the other project, I'll post a summary back to the forum when available. Honestly, I think this study should yield some interesting and potentially important results.

To participate, go to http://www.hostedsurvey.com/takesurvey.asp?c=SAHF1

The study probably takes 15 minutes to complete. If anyone is interested in copies of the two published studies I've done on this topic, just shoot me an e-mail! My grandiose thought is that legitimate research on this topic will eventually lead to more positive/realistic portrayals of the SAHF experience in the media and other outlets that can have a positive impact on fathers and men considering the role.

Last year I was fortunate enough to be able to review some of my past research with guys at the conference. I'm hoping to possibly do the same at Sacramento this year.

Thanks again.
