Gershansky, Ira S.; And Others
Perceptual and Motor Skills, v51 n3 pt2 p1263-68 Dec 1980
The portable rod-and-frame test was used to measure the level of psychological differentation for 100 behavior-problem, father-absent children, ages 8-16. A significant interaction was noted between the reason for the father's absence (death vs divorce/desertion) and the child's age when the father left home. (Author/SJL)
