This study investigates sex differences in nonresident parents' level of contact with biological children with whom they do not live. With data from the 1987-1988 National Survey of Families and Households, I assess social contect using nonresident parents' own reports of frequency of telephone calls and letters, in-person visits, and extended visitation. Multivariate results show that nonresident mothers and fathers are similar with respect to in-person visits. but mothers exhibit higher levels of telephone and letter contact and extended visitation. These results suggest that nonresident mothers' and fathers' relative frequencies of involvement with their absent children are not as straightforward as previously thought Although traditional gender roles may encourage greater contact between nonresident mothers and absent children on some dimensions of contact. results suggest that nonresident mothers and fathers may encounter circumstances that make frequent in-person contacts with absent children difficult to maintain.
