» So fathers be good to your daughters...
The authors studied 78 teens and young adults (average age 19), who reported on the quality of their relationship with their fathers and their current boyfriends. Three specific relationship domains were examined, namely: communication, trust, and time spent with their boyfriends/fathers.
The results:
- Girls with good communication with their fathers also had significantly better communication with their boyfriends when compared to girls with low communication with their fathers.
- Girls with high levels of trust with their fathers also had significantly better communication and trust with their boyfriends.
- Finally, time spent with their fathers was not associated with communication, trust or time spent with their boyfriends
