Single Custodial Fathers’ Involvement and Parenting: Implications for Outcomes in Emerging Adulthood Journal of Marriage and Family 72,5 (October 2010): 1107-1127. Also: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1741-3737.2010.00753.x/abstract Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Blackwell Publishing, Inc. => Wiley Online Keyword(s): Disconnected Youth; Fathers, Involvement; High School Completion/Graduates; Parents, Single; Transition, Adulthood Using a sample of 3,977 youths from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY97), this study examines the unique characteristics of single-custodial-father families with adolescents and the effects of single fathers' involvement and parenting on outcomes in emerging adulthood. Findings suggest that single-custodial-father families are distinct from single-mother and 2-biological-parent families in terms of sociodemographic characteristics, parenting styles, and involvement. Parenting styles and involvement mediate the differences between single-father families and 2-parent families in terms of high school completion and disconnectedness and partially mediate differences for single-custodial-father families with a partner. Family and sociodemographic characteristics are also associated with being disconnected for adolescents residing with a cohabiting custodial father. |
