Abstract
Compared the current psychological functioning of forty-two 18- to 22-.year-old women whose father had died when they were 4 to 12 years old, to a demographically similar group of 42 women from intact families who had suffered no significant losses. The results indicated that family relationship variables were significantly related to neuroticism and attachment- individuation balance, whereas father loss contributed only to the reaction of hostility toward separation. These findings suggest that family relationship variables are more salient than father death in women's subsequent psychological functioning.
