Tither, Jacqueline M.; Ellis, Bruce J. – Developmental Psychology, 2008
Girls growing up in homes without their biological fathers tend to go through puberty earlier than their peers.

To distinguish between these competing explanations, the authors used a genetically and…

Study suggests that the effects of father absence on daughters appear during adolescence and are manifested mainly as an inability to interact appropriately with males, rather than in other deviations from appropriate sex typing or in interactions with females. (Author/CB)

Peer reviewedHoffman, Martin L. – Developmental Psychology, 1971
Father-absent and father-present seveth graders were compared on moral attributes and overt aggression. Some evidence suggests that some but not all of the effects of father absence are attributable to the lack of a paternal model. Effects may be mediated in part by changes in the mother's child-rearing pattern. (NH)
