Question

The increase in women's employment and in the diversity of family structures changed the cultural view of fathers from the ______________ ideal to the _______________ ideal, which emphasizes providing both material support and emotional bonding.

Answer 1

male provider ; involved father

Step-by-step explanation:

Earlier in the society, the male is given the most priority and he is thought to be the sole provider and protector of the family. This was true because at early time only male are allowed to work and earn bread for the family and women used to stay at home and raise the children and do the household chores. This is the male provider ideal or theory.

But as now more and more women are becoming independent and are employed and earning, this has changed the view of the fathers as their role of male provider.

Now the family structures are more diversified and male are learning to take care of their family and also help the female in doing the house hold work.

Males are supporting the female and share equal responsibilities with them to provide material support as well as emotional support.

The view of the father has changed from the male provider ideal to the involved father ideal.

Thus the answer is --

male provider ; involved father
