ABSTRACT-Utilizing data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth – Mother and Child Samples, Dr. Christie-Mizell explores how father's involvement shapes antisocial behavior during childhood and adolescence. Net of the amount of time spent together and the child's perception of the adequacy of that time, father's involvement reduces baseline levels of antisocial behavior as well as growth trajectories over a six year period. Nevertheless, whether the time spent with fathers is perceived as adequate by the child is a more robust predictor of antisocial behavior problems than is father's involvement. Some interesting race and gender findings also emerge in the study. For example, father's involvement is more advantageous for African American youth, compared to Hispanics and whites. Moreover, father's involvement is beneficial for both daughters and sons. However, daughters reap a greater benefit from father's involvement, especially as they age.
