The Effect of Father Absence on Male Children in the Home and School

Atkinson, Brian R.; Obston, Donald G.

Journal of School Psychology, 12, 3, 213-221, F 74

The behavior of young and adolescent male children from homes without fathers was compared to comparable groups of children from intact homes. Teachers reported no difference in academic and extracurricular participation and performance. It was concluded that, in general, the behavior of children with and without fathers is not appreciably different. (Author)
