Doctoral Dissertation Research: Nonresident Parenting Practices, Gender, and Adolescent Outcomes

本研究将探讨来自非完整家庭的青少年如何受到非常住父母参与其生活的影响。研究结果将把过去关于经济参与重要性的研究扩展到对父母行为的考虑，如谈话、争吵和参与共同活动。研究的结果包括学业成绩、出勤率、成绩、情绪健康和行为问题。对现有全国调查的二次分析将辅以对当地50名青少年和30名家长的深入访谈。

This dissertation research will investigate how adolescents from non-intact families are affected by the involvement of the nonresident parent in their lives. The results will extend past work on the importance of financial involvement to a consideration of parental practices such as talking, arguing, and engaging in joint activities. Outcomes to be studied include academic achievement, school attendance, grades, emotional well-being, and behavioral problems. Secondary analyses of existing national surveys will be complemented by in-depth interviews with 50 adolescents and 30 parents from the local area.
