Abusing physically, mentally, sexually and economically by a person to a person who have familial relationship is domestic violence. This paper aims to describe what the relationship between impact of DV committed by mother and father, and mental health of girl students is. The study followed cross sectional research design and cluster sampling technique. Data of 385 students that were collected through self-administered anonymous questionnaire were analyzed. Descriptive and inferential statistics were applied. Pearson’s Correlation test was applied to identify what the relationship of abusing and beating have with anxiety and depression, and multiple regression analysis was used to predict significant contributor to DV. The great majority (84.6%) and 73.1% respondents who had experience of DV respectively had mild to moderate anxiety and depression. One in seven (15.4%) and 26.7% respondents respectively had severe anxiety and depression. Severity and frequency of abusing and beating had strong positive significant relationship with anxiety and depression. Severity and frequency of father beating contribute more to anxiety and depression. Local government must conduct domestic violence education for mothers and fathers of the study area.

Abstract: The theoretical framework of this paper focused on the concepts of paternal education, self-esteem, relationship. These notions have been examined from the perspective of girls in the specific human development period identified as adolescence, with the aim of discovering the possible consequences of their father’s education on them. The main purpose of the study was to determine the role of the father in developing the teenager’s perception of relationships (with himself, with boys). The three objectives that were verified by responses based on respondents’ answers clearly demonstrated that the impact of paternal education on adolescent girls is significant in the process of their continued development and has both positive and negative effects on their lives. The research, based on a qualitative research design, was carried out in the year 2018 through the application of a semi-structured interview to married women up to 35 years of age. It was found that a good relationship between the father and his teenage daughter stimulates self-esteem, contributes to the formation of a correct perception of relationships with boys. The results of the qualitative research were presented in the form of a narrative report. The conclusions were formulated taking into account the limits of this research.

Introduction
While the dominant narrative of multiracial families in society is that they are atypical, the implicit narrative is that they are racially progressive. In this article, I show how multiracial people with different backgrounds, although all have white ancestry, experience family life in nuanced ways that include racial discrimination and unearned privileges. While research has documented racism and monoracism in multiracial families, scholars have yet to analyze how inequality interacts with the unearned privileges that accompany a white parent. This study explores how 30 multiracial people experience racism, monoracism, and white privilege by proxy in their family lives. First, I center my respondents’ experiences with racism and monoracism, and how these experiences are shaped by the role of the family member (i.e., parent, grandparent, etc.). Second, I explain how white privilege by proxy is influenced by the intersectional identities of my participants’ white parent. Lastly, I outline how and under what conditions this form of privilege can be restricted or revoked. These findings present a new narrative of multiracial family life that more accurately reflects the intersectional and complex realities of multiracial people.
In the developmental research, studies on the importance of fathers in the parent–child relationship is insufficient, especially the father-daughter relationship. Thus far, a few studies have investigated whether father presence influences adolescent daughters’ resilience. Therefore, this study investigated the extent to which intermediary factors affect the relationship between father presence and daughters’ resilience. A total of 718 Chinese female high school students participated in a questionnaire survey. The results showed father presence was positively related to resilience in female high school students. Additionally, psychological security fully mediated the relationship between father presence and daughters’ resilience, whereas achievement goal orientation partially mediated this relationship; specifically, the mastery-approach and performance-approach orientations. The results highlight the importance of considering the meaning and implications of father presence and daughter’s resilience in Chinese culture.
This study investigated insecure attachment of emerging adult daughters with their fathers and how it affects daughter's psychological well-being, with interpersonal communication motives taken as mediating variables. A sample of daughters (N = 243) ranging from 18 to 25 years was collected through purposive sampling from Islamabad and Rawalpindi. For this cross-sectional study, data were collected using psychometrically sound tools along with a demographic data sheet. Results revealed that anxiety and avoidance attachment style negatively correlate to young adult daughters' psychological well-being as hypothesized. Moreover, this relationship is partially mediated by interpersonal communication motives. Among communication motives, affection motive is a stronger predictor of psychological well-being scores (β = .31, p < .01). Other motives, i.e., pleasure, relaxation, inclusion, escape, and control did not show significant results in mediation. These findings have practical implications for parents, mental health professionals, and family counselors.
The relation between rejection and depression was examined in the context of college students' relationships with their parents. Female college students (n = 183) provided self-reports of how rejected they felt by their parents, and parents provided self-reports of how rejecting they were of their daughters. In father—daughter dyads, we found that fathers' reports of rejection moderated the relation between women's reports of rejection and depression. In mother—daughter dyads, we found that daughters' reports of rejection, but not mothers' reports of rejection, was associated with depression. These findings suggest that relationship factors may be critical for understanding depression, and that the role of rejection in depression can only be understood by taking into account the nature of the relationship.
Associations between adolescents' attachment security with mother, attachment security with father, and their affect and behavior in social interactions with parents and peers were investigated. One hundred and five 15-16-year-olds (75 girls and 30 boys) rated their security of attachment to each parent and emotional expressiveness, and completed a daily diary for one week, describing positive or negative interactions with parents and with close friends. Diaries were coded for self disclosure, emotional expressiveness, conflict, and positive and negative affect. With respect to attachment to mother, as hypothesized, secure participants described less affectively negative interactions with parents. In resolving conflict with parents, dismissing participants reported using more disengagement. Securely attached adolescents rated themselves as more emotionally expressive than did insecurely attached adolescents. With respect to attachment to father, secure adolescents reported less conflict in their peer interactions. Adolescents who were securely attached to one or both parents reported significantly more positive and fewer negative interactions with their parents than did teens who were insecurely attached to both parents. These findings suggest that, during adolescence, attachment security to mother and to father may differentially influence aspects of teens' interpersonal behavior and the affective quality of their relationships with both parents and peers.
Most policies that legislate father involvement with nonresident children treat men as if they have obligations to only one set of children. This paper describes the complexity of nonresident fathers' parenting circumstances and assesses whether and how parenting configurations are associated with the fathers' involvement with nonresident children. We find that nonresident fathers often have parenting obligations within and outside their current residences, and that the complexity of these obligations may result in less economic support to and visitation with nonresident children. Our results suggest that new policy efforts need to recognize the complexity of nonresident fathers' family ties.

The relationship between the quality of adult daughters' (N = 350) experiences in their current relationships with their mothers and fathers and the daughters' mental health (i.e., subjective well-being and psychological distress) was examined. The daughters are a subsample drawn from a larger, disproportionate, random, stratified sample of 403 women aged 25 to 55, who were practicing social workers or licensed practical nurses, and who resided within a 25-mile radius of Boston. The sample varies in race, social class, family-role pattern (i.e., partnership and parental status), and number of parents still alive. Quality of experience in the daughter role was assessed separately for the daughter-mother and daughter-father roles. Overall, daughters reported positive experiences with each parent. Having a positive relationship with a parent was associated with daughters' reports of high well-being and low distress. The association between the quality of a daughter's relationship with her mother or her father and her psychological distress was conditioned by the daughter's family-role pattern. For example, having a poor relationship with one's mother was associated with reports of psychological distress (i.e., symptoms of anxiety and depression), particularly among daughters who were single or childless. The relationships between both indices of daughter's mental health and daughter-role quality did not differ by race or social class.
Many researchers have suggested that parental divorce can influence intimacy and marital attitudes in the relationships of adult children of divorce (ACD). This study examined the effect of parental divorce on specific intimate relationship ideals. Participants consisted of 315 graduate students at the University of New Orleans who completed the Relationship Ideals Scale (RIS). Results indicated that parental divorce significantly affects the importance of specific relationship ideals such as affection, passion, and independence. Implications for counselors, counselor educators, and future research are provided.
The impact of divorce on children's development has been widely studied. The long-term effects of divorce on young adults have been observed when young adults attempt to initiate intimate relationships. The relationship between parental divorce in childhood and difficulties in establishing intimate relationships in young adulthood may be understood by exploring the impact of extended paternal absence. A major consequence of a parental divorce is a decrease in paternal involvement. Until recently the effects of paternal absence related to a parental divorce have not been investigated. The present study evaluates the influences of paternal involvement and parental divorce on young adult's intimate relationships. Four hundred and eight participants ranging in age from 18-34 from divorced and intact families completed self-report measures on paternal involvement, intimacy, insecurity, commitment, and trust. Multiple regression analyses were used to determine the predictive power of parental marital status and paternal involvement on the relationship outcome measures. Paternal involvement is a significant influence on all relationship dimensions assessed, regardless of parent's marital status. Young adults from divorced families suffer more negative relationship outcomes independent of parental involvement.
The purpose of this study was to assess the long-term impact of experiencing parental divorce on young adult intimate relationships. Differences in intimacy levels and positive and negative communication patterns were assessed in four types of couples: those in which neither person experienced parental divorce, only the man experienced parental divorce or both people experienced parental divorce. Subjects were 136 undergraduate psychology students between the ages of 18 and 30 who have been in a relationship for at least three months. They completed questionnaires assessing intimacy and communication patterns in their current intimate relationship. Couples in which the woman experienced parental divorce reported significantly lower levels of intimacy and mutually constructive communication and higher levels of demand-withdrawal patterns and mutual avoidance of conflict. In contrast, divorce did not appear to influence intimacy and communication patterns of couples in which the young adult man experienced parental divorce. Their intimacy levels and communication patterns were not significantly different from those in couples in which neither person experienced parental divorce. Contrary to predictions, at this developmental stage there was not a compounded effect on intimacy and communication patterns when both partners experienced their parents divorce. Implications of this study, directions for future research, and limitations are discussed.
