社会化的进化理论表明，与来自有父亲的家庭的孩子相比，来自父亲缺席的家庭的孩子会更早成熟，并且形成的配对关系更不稳定。最近的研究使用了大约 1,000 人的样本，重点关注父亲缺席的儿童行为的要素，这些要素可以用达尔文主义方法比竞争对手的社会科学理论更好地解释。由于对男性竞争的兴趣增强，没有父亲的男孩比有父亲的男孩更频繁地从事违反规则的行为。与有父亲在场的孩子相比，丧偶家庭的青少年（男孩和女孩）表现出更高程度的各种不顺从行为，这可能与他们较早成熟有关。事实证明，入学率、结婚年龄和婚姻成功受到孩子早期家庭经历的影响，并受到适应的进化策略的控制。没有父亲的女儿比童年时期有父亲在场的女儿怀下更多的孩子。正如进化论所预测的那样，来自离婚家庭的个体的生殖行为与在丧偶家庭中长大的个体的生殖行为不同。最后，自然流产/死产与家庭安排之间的强相关性表明，父亲缺席对儿童发育的神经激素过程有一定的直接影响。
An evolutionary theory of socialization suggests that children from father-absent families will mature earlier, and form less-stable pair bonds, compared with those from father-present families. Using a sample of about 1,000 persons the recent study focuses on elements of father-absent children's behavior that could be better explained by a Darwinian approach than by rival social science theories. As a result of their enhanced interest in male competition, father-absent boys were found to engage in rule-breaking behavior more intensively than father-present boys. Compared with father-present children, adolescents from widowed households (both boys and girls) showed a higher intensity of various kinds of noncompliant behavior, which can be linked to their earlier maturation. School attendance, age at marriage, and marital success proved to be influenced by the children's early family experiences, governed by adapted evolutionary strategies. Father-absent daughters conceived more children than those whose fathers were present during their childhood. As evolutionary theory predicts, reproductive behavior of individuals from divorced households differed from that of individuals who grew up in widowed households. Finally, the strong correlation found between spontaneous abortion/stillbirths and family arrangement indicates that father absence has certain direct impacts on the neurohormonal processes of child development.
