Children's Socialization Experiences and Functioning in Single-Mother Households: The Importance of Fathers and Other Men.
Coley, Rebekah Levine
Child Development, v69 n1 p219-30 Feb 1998
Examined the experiences provided by biological fathers and other men for 111 third and fourth graders in unmarried-mother families. Found that fathers' warmth and control related to better academic achievement and more prosocial behaviors toward peers. Girls and Black children were more positively affected by relations with fathers and father figures than were boys and White children. (Author)
