The Impact of Father Absence on Moral Development in Females.

Parish, Thomas S.; Copeland, Terry F.

Sex Roles: A Journal of Research, v7 n6 p635-36 Jun 1981

Results of a survey of female undergraduates revealed no significant differences in moral development between women from broken homes (divorced parents or father deceased) and from intact families. There was a strong correlation between age at loss of father and level of moral development for women from broken homes. (Author/MK)
