Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2022, vol.20, n.1, pp.145-163.  Epub 28-Fev-2022. ISSN 1692-715X.  https://doi.org/10.11600/rlcsnj.20.1.4447.

Adolescent paternity has traditionally been stigmatized, which has generated barriers and ignorance of the experiences, motivations and meanings of young fathers. This is why this study has the objective of understanding the construction and meanings of the present and active paternity of adolescent men living in Guadalajara, Mexico. A qualitative socio-constructionist study was carried out with young men aged 16 to 19 who were parents or their partner was pregnant. Semi-structured interviews and observation of their social networks were carried out followed by content analysis. The results of the study highlight the intersections between masculinities and paternities. Notable motivations for their paternity include their desire for social recognition, their interest in forming a family and meeting their emotional needs through their partner and son/daughter.

Palavras-chave : Fatherhood; adolescent men; masculinities; gender; socioconstructionism.
