Alston, Doris N.; Williams, Nanette

Journal of Negro Education, v51 n2 p134-38 Spr 1982

Research among Black adolescent boys found that: (1) those whose fathers were present in the home had higher and more positive self-concepts than those whose fathers were absent; and (2) self-concept and grade point average were significantly related for the father-present group. (Author/MJL)
