Abstract

Risky attachment styles are behaviors that are high risk and enacted by an impulse that can eventually lead to engaging in sexual acts with a person who has a sexually transmitted infection/ disease or someone who is at risk of becoming pregnant. Girls who grew up in a two-parent household or one parent household but the father was present during adolescent years have shown to engage in less risky attachment styles; whereas girls who grew up without a father figure or a non-parent household have shown to engage in riskier attachment styles such as avoidant and insecure/ambivalent styles. Past research experiences shows’ evidence that the impact of a fatherly figure can affect how young girls choose their relationships but this impact was not as definite in young males. Because the research is so biased, the following research identifies the factors that affect the quality of our relationships based on the impact of a fatherly figure and how this impact affects young girls' attachment styles when in a relationship.  Finally, I offer implications for this research from a social and psychological aspect.

Introduction

The factors that affect the quality of our relationships provides researchers with a qualitative framework for the understanding of the overall effects of the parental figure being a part of the development of the child; and how this development affects how young ladies and men get involved in quality relationships. These factors also give researchers the opportunity to understand how the emotional and physical relationship between a father and daughter affect how the daughters that did not grow up with healthy paternal relationships have underlying sexual factors and attachment styles. The significance of this research is to identify which factors from various upbringing whether being one parent, two-parent, or care system household affect the quality of our relationships. Furthermore, this research will explain what our upbringing says about those who we enter relationships with or keep in our life. At this stage in the research, the factors that define the quality of relationships for young ladies and men between the ages of 15 to 24 are scarce. Some deficiencies within each article in regards to research between the physical and emotional bond are described as strong emotional bonds and a need for a consistent partner but there were no articles that related to emotional development and how fathers play a major part in this development. Because of these various deficiencies, by using qualitative methods during my research I hope to explore the emotional and physical bond between a father and daughter while using personal experiences and various data resources to help find the understanding between the factors that build our relationships and what factors help define quality relationships. Likewise, the purpose of this research is to explore if dating is easier for girls who’s father made an impact on their life in comparison to those who grew up without good fatherly figures; in hopes to define the implications around the need to feel cherished or wanted in a relationship uprooting from attachment styles learned during childhood development?

Literature Review

Young ladies between the ages of 18 to 36 tend to have less risky or unprotected sex then those between the ages 16-25. Past research recognizes greater accelerated ranges of parental checking facts and diminished affiliation with degenerate buddies as the main reason for these effects. The “fatherly assignment hypothesis” stated that the impact of fathers does have causal effects. Likewise, this research stated in “ Impact of Fathers on Parental Monitoring” uses the differential relatives presentation plan to create data to show the impact of differential relations advent to the circle of relatives such as disturbance/father nonappearance and nature of fathering. Taken collectively, the discoveries found were based on households with siblings only and those discoveries endorse that present fathering can also diminish ladies' commitment in relationships and with the aid of expanding the degree of parental checking that they may receive decreases their association with peers who promote risky sexual behaviors and or unprotected sex. This article is a great source of data for my research problem because it uses siblings to show the impact of fathers before being a part of risky sexual behaviors by providing support for low quality father and daughter relationships leading to daughters engaging in risky sexual behaviors.

In terms of father and daughter relationships,Pre-Adult conduct can be defined as a brief period before adulthood that usually defines how you will react later in life. Because of this, Sex-Specific pathways that are experienced at an early age are found to lead to risky sexual behaviors later on. “The Desire for Sexual Attention” attempted to research within sex-explicit pathways in relation to early puberty, sexual creation, and sexual risk-taking, as decided by way of a coordinated transformative formative version of pre-puberty sexual conduct. This examination was based on young people between the ages of 12 to 18 where there were more girls than boys apart from the examination. They attempted to pull data between internal triggers, the circle of relatives’ connections, the participants’ overall pubertal improvement, self-noticed mate esteem, and sexual risk-taking amongst the girls and boys. The research found that father nonattendance outcomes affected women’s sexual consequences but not male sexual effects. Whereas those who had the impact of their father legitimately expected no sexual creation and this overall led to less risky sexual behavior practices. This article is an asset to my research problem because the authors focus their research on the impact of a father’s on both young girls and boys. Likewise, this article provides crictism to the research at hand because it does not go into details of the effects of those who’s father impacted their life but only those impacted because their father was not present.

The hypothesis of “Implications for Early Pair Bonding” is based on connection theory shows that the structure of our adolescence began with the development of attachment styles learned in the household. This research makes use of a connection shape to portray the comfy connections in adolescents and a gathering technique for young people with risky attachment styles to acknowledge the connection from various kinds of affectional securities. Likewise, the authors talk approximately how social elegance, culture, and intercourse affect the association of young people's bonds with attachment styles. Lastly, this article connects risky sexual behaviors and underage pregnancies as output for adolescent growth but it does not focus on the parental aspects of my research. Because of this, this article is an asset to current research because it shows that all risky sexual behaviors do not always come from things we missed during adolescence development.

The hypothesis of “ The Desire of Sexual Attention” suggests the need for paternal bonding is also associated with the need for sexual attention amongst women but not men. This article examined individual contrasts in the longing for sexual consideration. With the hypothesis in play, research proves there are suited proof for the utility of sexual consideration, but little notion about mental indicators. Likewise, the authors of the article found the participant’s craved sexual consideration increased in adolescents. Sexual consideration is defined as partaking in sexual misconduct such as multiple sexual partners at one time. This experiment was based around two hundred Australians, half being boys and the other half being girls. For guys, the craving for sexual consideration was based on sexual thinking instead of the impact of a father figure. The girls who were a part of the examination “Machiavellianism” became the overall factor instead of sexual thinking like the boys. The only relation the researchers found between the impacts of fathers amongst their daughters was that there were no definite answers that likewise linked with more noteworthy requirements for sexual attention in girls but not guys. Lastly, this article is an asset to current research because it indicates what information is missing. It also shows how important my research problem is and why it should be studied. There is simply not enough information on the effects of growing up in a single-parent home or a non-parent home. This article will also help me defer between the young ladies’ need for sexual consideration instead of sexual risky behaviors as the two articles before.

Lastly, this experiment based on the need to feel cherished affects the quality of our relationships and uses abbreviations to identify the parties as a part of their research. The abbreviations helped to analyze individuals' emotional influence on the impact of these encounters with the aid of always searching for the need to feel cherished. The results from the examination were numbers of staggering men or women who's the contrast in those attributes and those individual contrasts associated methodically to each intellectual prosperity and character who was a part of this examination. Lastly, the examination found those who felt love patterns had more prominent mental prosperity. This article would be an asset to my research problem because it depicts where the need for feeling cherished first comes from and then it identifies the factors that affect the relationships of those who needed to feel cherished and those who did not. These results will help me decipher my hypothesis between the overall effects of the impact of a parent and the effects when there are no parents or only one parent involved.

What Factors Affect The Quality of Our Relationships?

Many expanding theories place spotlight on the advantages of two-parent households decreasing risky attachment styles. Within these theories, the comparison between what factors affect the quality of our relationships are based on parental figures during childhood development and the development of risky sexual behaviors when a parent is not involved in childhood development. This study tested the hypothesis that parental involvement during childhood development can affect the quality of our relationships and attachment styles. This studies hypothesis suggest that the attachment styles learned during childhood development may lead to involvement in unhealthy or little to no quality relationships. Here, we will highlight methods used for conducting this research.

Method

Participants

This study using the qualitative approach will test the hypothesis that paternal involvement during childhood development can affect the quality of young girls relationships and attachment styles. Under qualitataive research methods, I will use the emergent design because this design leave room for changes amongst my collection of data such as using both blogs and survery methods.

Assessments and Measures

To execute my study I will be using various blogs based on the impact of fathers amongst young girls between the ages of 13 to 25. By using various blogs I am able to obtain nonbiased and biased data while meeting ethical research standards. As stated, if my data seems to change as I begin to collect data, then I would use the anoymous survery method on campus through the organization Breaking the Stigma. Through this organization I plan to ask four to five open-ended questions based on the number of parents in the household and what impact if any; did the paternal parent have on them growing up. This organization members numbers run between 8-10 women of different ages and classifications; and would be able to freely provide their experiences.

The definition of Emergent Design suggests the initial plan for research cannot be tightly prescribed, and some or all phases of the process may change after the researcher enters the field and collects data. This design would be the best fit to excute data because it leaves room for research to be unbiased by using both blogs and survey methods. The assumptions of this method suggests by using this design some questions may change, the forms of data collection may shift and the individuals may be modified. (Creswell, 2009)

A subset of interviews with the women members of Breaking the STIGMA studying the impact of their father during their childhood development. The data will be analyzed using the Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis with a reflexive, feminist, and social constructionist approach. Within this analysis, two themes were defined and illustrated: Avoidant attachment styles,Women identifying triggers from their childhood and Threats of untreated trauma from previous relationships. Definitions and illustrations from members of Breaking the STIGMA help clarify how the open-ended survey questions add detail to the research. In the end, Avoidant attachment styles and identifying triggers help shape the direction of the study because it leaves room for the data to be viewed from two viewpoints. As the author, I have lived in both a two parent and single parent household and dealt with experiences that leave me biased to the data.The point of the child who grew up with a father who made an impact on their life and a daughter who grew up in a single parent household with little to no impact from their father. I believe these biases will adhere with the emergent design and leave room for evidence that your childhood may affect the quality of relationships for young girls between the ages of 15 to 25.
