    The Impact of Father Involvement on Self-esteem and Attachment Styles in Lebanese Male and Female Young Adults
    (2005) Kalo Jaroudi, Rana
    This study investigated the relationship between perceived father involvement and self-esteem and romantic attachment styles in young adult Lebanese males and females. A sample of 136 university students (77 females and 59 males) completed self-report questionnaires that measured their perception of their relationship with their fathers, their self-esteem, and their romantic attachment style. Regression and correlation analyses showed that there is no gender difference in the perception of father involvement in this particular sample, and that self-esteem is strongly correlated with a secure attachment style. Moreover, results confirmed that father involvement predicts levels of self-esteem in both males and females, and that this relationship was even more strongly significant for males. However, father involvement was found to have no relationship to adult relational style, as was initially predicted.
