Behavioral Differences between African American Male Adolescents with Biological Fathers and Those without Biological Fathers in the Home.

Rodney, H. Elaine; Mupier, Robert

Journal of Black Studies, v30 n1 p45-61 Sep 1999

Investigated differences between father absence and father presence among 433 male African-American adolescents in a Midwestern city. Results for the 74.1% who were "father absent" support the importance of the father's presence, although the mother's involvement was a buffer for some delinquent behaviors. (SLD)
