“…The role of fathers in socializing their children is very important (Parke, 1996). However, increasing the quality of family functioning and focusing directly on adolescents' self-esteem with productive extracurricular activities may buffer the effects of having single parents.…”

This study examined the effects of marital status, family income, and family functioning on African American adolescents' self-esteem. One hundred sixteen adolescents participated, 64% of whom were female. Compared with boys with nonmarried parents, boys with married parents had higher overall self-esteem, even when family income and family functioning were controlled. Parental marital status had no effect on girls' self-esteem. Family functioning was a very strong predictor of self-esteem for both sexes. However, family relational factors were more important to girls' self-esteem, whereas structural and growth factors were more important for boys. It was concluded that African American adolescent boys with nonmarried parents are at risk for developing low self-esteem compared with other African American adolescents, but a more controlled and structured environment may buffer the effects of having nonmarried parents.

“…In addition, research has shown a strong association between positive father-child relationships and the development of social competence (Lamb, 1981;Mackey, 1998;Parke, 1981;Radin, 1986;Sharpe, 1994) and in the reduction of violent criminal behavior (Mackey & Mackey, 2003). Hamilton (1977) found that when fathers were very involved in their children's lives, sons were described as more likable, autonomous, imaginative, and confident, and daughters were described as well socialized, friendly, and dependable.…”

Scholars have emphasized the importance of fathers in child development with regard to academic performance, emotional expression, and psychological adjustment. This study builds on that literature and describes the development of an empirically derived measure of father hunger, the emotional and psychological longing that a person has for a father who has been physically, emotionally, or psychologically distant. Study 1 employed 105 undergraduates who responded to 41 father-hunger items and 4 freeresponse questions. Exploratory factor analysis yielded 1 primary factor with 11 items. Study 2 employed 240 undergraduates whose responses supported the scale's 1-factor structure, convergent validity with other validated scales, and test-retest reliability across 14 days. The Father Hunger Scale holds promise in advancing research on the role of fathers throughout child and adult development, as well as on the causes, correlates, and sequelae of unrequited father hunger.

“…Phares addresses this point directly in her call for involving fathers in pediatric research. This call has been shouted throughout the developmental literature for over two decades (Parke, 1981). Before the researchers can truly have family-based interventions they must aggressively involve as many members of the family as possible.…”

Introduction to the Special Issue: Time for Family-Based Interventions in Pediatric Psychology?

From its very inception, pediatric psychology has been committed to involving the whole family in the service of treating children. Yet, in many respects family-based interventions are still in their infancy. Recently, Kazak and colleagues presented a model of family systems practice in pediatric psychology (Kazak, Simms, & Rourke, 2002). They introduce their article with the statement "We write this article reflecting on the lack of established family intervention approaches in pediatric psychology" (p. 133). In the same issue of the Journal of Pediatric Psychology, Brown's presidential address calls for greater attention to social ecologies and the reciprocal influence of children and families (Brown, 2002). Clearly, the need for family-based interventions in pediatric psychology has been endorsed. Why is it taking so long to heed the call from so many fine scholars? On the one hand, a marriage between family-based interventions and pediatric psychology makes sense. There are strong theoretical models suggesting that families affect children's well-being and that children's health affects family functioning (Fiese, 1997;Fiese & Wamboldt, 2001;Patterson & Garwick, 1994;Wood, Klebba, & Miller, 2000). There is a relatively large body of descriptive research linking family interaction styles, disease management practices, family belief systems, and communication patterns with children's health and well-being (Kazak, Rourke, & Crump, 2003). Like most marriages, the relationship between family-based interventions and pediatric psychology is a work in progress and the best of intentions take time to materialize.
