Family Facts: Social Science Research on Family, Society & Religion
Finding
| This finding looks at the relationship between paternal involvement and the association between family structure and adolescent behavior. Higher levels of father involvement were associated with less aggressive and anti-social adolescent behavior, and partially accounted for the impact of family structure on adolescent behavior. Father involvement was measured by adolescents’ responses to seven questions; examples of the questions included: “how often the father talks over important decisions with the adolescent,” “how often the father knows who the adolescent is with when not at home,” and “how close the adolescent feels to the father.”
