This study examines how parental involvement satisfaction (PIS) in terms of accessibility, engagement, and responsibility (A-E-R) among of noncustodial African American fathers (NCAAFs) may be explained by the pre- and post-conception relationship durations they have with their children’s mothers, controlling for quality of communication satisfaction (QCS) with the mothers. Method: A multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) was performed with a sample size of N=163 NCAAFS who were surveyed participants in the Parenting Time Visitation Program (PTVP) in Atlanta and Savannah, Georgia communities. Results: There no significant relationships found between pre/post-conception relationship durations and PIS in terms of A-E-R, even when controlling for QCS. Correlational and crosstabulation analyses did reveal some interesting patterns of note. Discussion: This study extends the literature on noncustodial father involvement with their children and provides valuable insight to co-parenting studies.

本研究探讨了非监护非裔美国父亲 (NCAAF) 在可及性、参与度和责任感 (AER) 方面的父母参与满意度 (PIS) 如何可以通过他们与孩子母亲的受孕前后关系持续时间来解释，控制与母亲的沟通满意度（QCS）质量。方法：对亚特兰大和佐治亚州萨凡纳社区的育儿时间探视计划 (PTVP) 参与者进行了多变量协方差分析 (MANCOVA)，样本量为 N=163 NCAAFS。结果：就 AER 而言，即使在控制 QCS 时，在受孕前/后关系持续时间和 PIS 之间也没有发现显着关系。相关性和交叉表分析确实揭示了一些有趣的注意模式。讨论：本研究扩展了关于非监护父亲参与子女的文献，并为共同养育研究提供了宝贵的见解。
