Family Structure and Psychosocial Correlates among Urban African-American Adolescent Males.
Zimmerman, Marc A.; And Others
Child Development, v66 n6 p1598-1613 Dec 1995
Substance use and delinquency, well-being, and social support were compared across 5 family constellations among 254 adolescent black males. The only difference found was that subjects living in single-mother households reported more parental support than those from other family structures. Data on father/male role model relationships challenged assumption that fathers' absence preempts significant relationship with sons. (HTH)
