尽管非常住父亲与青春期内化和外化行为增加之间的联系已被充分记录，但研究尚未建立这些联系的合理因果关系或确定潜在机制。本研究利用1979年全国青年纵向调查的数据，通过比较父亲离开时年龄不一致的兄弟姐妹的抑郁症状和不良行为来解决这些问题。研究结果表明，童年后期父亲的离开与青少年犯罪的增加有关，但与抑郁症状无关，而童年早期父亲的离开与青少年的结局无关。这两项发现都表明，父母的监控——而不是社会化或情绪困扰——可能解释了父亲离开和青少年犯罪之间的联系。
Although associations between having a nonresident father and increased internalizing and externalizing behaviors in adolescence have been well documented, research has yet to establish the plausible causality of these links or identify underlying mechanisms. Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 ‐ Young Adult survey, this study addresses these questions by comparing the depressive symptoms and delinquent behavior of siblings discordant for age at father departure. Findings indicate that father departure later in childhood is associated with increased adolescent delinquency but not depressive symptoms, whereas early childhood father departure was not associated with adolescent outcomes. Both findings suggests that parental monitoring—rather than socialization or emotional distress—may account for links between father departure and adolescent delinquency.
