  2. Background and Theory • Definition of fatherhood has shifted. • Research tends to be biased. • More Research is Needed! • For Clarification • Outdated Theory • Influence Policy Issues

  3. Background and Theory • Parental Acceptance-Rejection Theory (PARTheory) • Children of all cultures require warm parenting • 26% of children’s well being is determined by perceived acceptance from caregivers • In the African American community, social support, often stems from extended kin

  4. Research Question/Hypothesis • It is hypothesized that if a child has a greater level of perceived social support, then their psychological well being will be positively impacted.

  5. Results • Sources of Social Support Scale (SOSS) • Personality Assessment Questionnaire (PAQ) • Cross-sectional design • Two-tailed, bivariate Pearson’s correlation

  6. Results • Our results supported our hypothesis. • Results yielded a significant correlation ~ p= .00 • There was a weak and negative relationship~ r= -.28

  7. Discussion ~ Findings • Significant relationship between social support and psychological well being. • Findings were consistent with the hypothesis. • Findings were consistent with theoretical views.

  8. Discussion ~ Limitations • Cross-sectional Design • The Sample • Self-reported Data

  9. Discussion ~ Implications • Social Work Practice • Theory • Increased Research Knowledge Base • Policy • Program Expansion
