Using cross-national data from the 2012 International Social Survey Programme (N = 33,273), this study considers institutional, self-interest, and ideational factors in analyzing public opinions about the provision, length, and source of paid parental leave offerings for fathers. We find substantial support for generous leave offerings. Multilevel regression results reveal that being a woman, supporting dual-earning expectations, and realizing more family strains lead to support for more generous leave offerings. Endorsing separate spheres and intensive mothering attitudes reduces support for more generous leave offerings; although, gendered attitudes interact with one another in predicting leave preferences, too. Finally, country-level indicators of female empowerment and father-specific leave offerings are positively associated with preferences for more generous leave offerings. Overall, public opinions about fathers’ leave offerings across OECD countries largely support policies that provide opportunities for more involved fathering, but preferences continue to be gendered and linked to family strains and country-level contexts.

使用来自 2012 年国际社会调查计划（N = 33,273），本研究在分析公众对父亲带薪育儿假的规定、长度和来源的看法时考虑了制度、自身利益和观念因素。我们为慷慨的休假提供了大量支持。多层次回归结果表明，身为女性、支持双薪预期并意识到更多的家庭压力会导致支持更慷慨的休假。支持单独的领域和强烈的母性态度会减少对更慷慨的休假的支持；不过，性别态度在预测休假偏好方面也相互影响。最后，女性赋权和父亲特定休假的国家级指标与对更慷慨休假的偏好呈正相关。总体，
