    • Abstract:
      In recent decades quantitative studies have documented an increase in paternal involvement. These changes have led to hypotheses of a new model of fatherhood. The aim of this paper is to explore the discourses of Spanish fathers regarding paternal involvement, identifying its structure and changing tendencies. The analysis is based on eight focus groups conducted in Madrid and Barcelona. Among the main findings we emphasize that the transition of fatherhood, not without contradictions, is causing the traditional homogeneous fatherhood to evolve toward a more complex and multidimensional conceptualization.

      En las últimas décadas los estudios cuantitativos han demostrado un aumento en la implicación paterna. Estos cambios han supuesto la emergencia de la hipótesis de un nuevo modelo de padre. El objetivo de este trabajo es el de explorar los discursos de los padres españoles en torno a la implicación paterna con miras a identificar su estructura y tendencias al cambio. Para ello se analizan ocho grupos de discusión de padres realizados en Madrid y Barcelona. Entre los principales resultados destacamos el proceso de transición de la paternidad que, no sin contradicciones, hace evolucionar la paternidad tradicional homogénea hacia una concepción compleja y multidimensional de la misma.
