African American Fathers in Low Income, Urban Families: Development, Behavior, and Home Environment of Their Three-Year-Old Children.
Black, Maureen M.; Dubowitz, Howard; Starr, Raymond H., Jr.
Child Development, v70 n4 p967-78 Jul-Aug 1999
Examined relationship between paternal roles and 3-year olds' well-being in low income, African-American families. Found that children's cognition, receptive language, behavior, and home environment were not related to father presence. Controlled for maternal age, education, and parenting satisfaction; found that paternal roles related to indices of child well-being. Neither biological fatherhood nor parents' marital status entered into models. (Author/KB)
