| dc.description.abstract | This study utilized a phenomenological approach to examine adult children's views of how
their fathers connected with them as children. Participants consisted of 10 men and 12
women between the ages of 30 and 60 who were interviewed about connection experiences
with their fathers. Participants completed interviews related to their perspectives on being
fathered, experiences as a son or daughter, and what they experienced in connecting with
their fathers. Findings indicated that fathers connect with children through a variety of
contexts that include memorable occasions, activities, personal interactions, routines,
events, and other means. Also. obstacles to connection between fathers and children were
explored. Study findings and their implications for theory, research, and practical
application are discussed. | en_US |
